Does not work zip from exec()

I have php script that is run from cron. There are such command as 

zip -j9 {targer_some_directory}/all.zip {some_directory}/pdf/*.pdf

in that script.

This command is running by exec();

{some_directory} and {targer_some_directory} are existing full path. These directories have rights = 0777. When I run this script from shell it works. When it run from cron, script doesn't work.

Can anybody help me?

P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

When you run script from shell and from cron you have a different content for a $PATH environment variable. So, I suppose your zip located in some place, which does't included into cron's $PATH.

The very simplest solution is to run zip with specifying full path, for instance /usr/local/bin/zip
