problems with basic authentication .htpasswd called from php exec()

Hello,



I'm trying to use php to update my htpasswd file.



I have my permissions on .htpasswd set to 777, so it should be wide


open.  From the command line (when logged into the server as "nobody",


my server's web user) I can get the htpasswd.exe to run without a


problem, but when passed through my php exec() function the .htpasswd


file does not change.  I'm not getting any errors, but I'm not getting


any action either.



I'd really appreciate anything anyone could suggest - I feel like I'm


banging my head against a wall here.


Thanks,


Jen
