PHP svn updating

Question

I am trying to make a svn directory readable through web browsers, so what I do is to checkout it using the svn php extension. I've managed to checkout and update the directory through ssh using the command line php thingy. It works without problems. But if I try to update the directory using a .php-file on the web page, it gives me error code 500. The error logs say this

PHP Fatal error:  Call to
           undefined function svn_update() in /home/derp/public_html/svn/php/update_svn.php

I haven't done much php, and I am not sure how to make this work. Does anyone here know?

You need to have the PECL extension svn installed for this function to exist in your PHP installation.

Hmm. Okay. Why does it work when I run the php commands in the interactive php command line, but not through the browser?

CLI and web sometimes use different php.ini files. You may have PECL SVN loaded on one but not the other.

ah, okay. How would I proceed to install PECL and the svn extension? I've never done this before. I'm running ubuntu.

Usually in Ubuntu a PECL module would be installed by adding something like extension=svn.so to /etc/php5/conf.d/svn.ini. Your setup may be custom, though. If there's nothing there, you can always run pecl install svn.

Okay, now I've installed the svn extension, and it doesn't give a 500 error anymore. But when I try to do svn_update, the logs show this: svn_checkout(): svn error(s) occured\n13 (Permission denied) Can't create directory
