PHP exec svn and return_value always 0

Question

i'm trying to integrate svn in a php script to automate a website startup and versioning.

I've made some check during the steps of the creation using the exec php command together with the svn and svnadmin command.

so, when i make and hotcopy (of an unexsistant repository) it returns value 1 (and its correct) but svnadmin create (with a path completely absurd) always returns 0 (like if the content was created, but that is not true!)

public function routine($istr, $search, $replace) {
 $output = array();
 $returnvar = 0;
 $istr = str_replace($search,$replace,$istr);
 exec($istr." 2>&1", $output,$returnvar);
 $this->addMessage($istr);
 if($returnvar != 0) {
  $this->addMessage("!!! GOT ERRORS !!!");
  $this->addMessage(implode("\n", $output));
 }
}

This route actually works, but the returnvar is always 0 (if the svnadmin command is different from hotcopy).

The meaning of the function is that i would like to show the complete output only if there is an error. not show anything otherwise (or maybe a confirmation message)

hope soeone can help ty in advance

well that is too much.. what we do are simple svn commands.. so i don't think we need such a project to make it work (also i've found the solution myself, and posted as comment, and its alot easier then adding an entire project to my project!) — Easly

Found the solution: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.system.php#94929

modified it for my purpose and added to my project :) now my routine looks like this:

public function routine($istr, $search="", $replace="") {
    $output = array();
    if($search != "" || $replace != "")
        $istr = str_replace($search,$replace,$istr);
    $output = $this->runExec($istr);
    $this->addMessage(preg_replace("/[\n\r]/","",$istr));
    if(strlen($output['stdout']) > 5)
        $this->addMessage($output['stdout']);

    if($output['return'] != "0") {
        $this->addMessage("<font color='red'>!!! GOT ERRORS !!!");
        $this->addMessage($output['stderr']);
        $this->addMessage("</font>");

        return false;
    } else
        $this->addMessage("<font color='orange'>!!! EXEC SUCCESS !!!</font>");

    return true;
}

and works like a charm :)
