PHP System return 127 error code

I've tried to backup my database with the following php code on mac Sierra:

$command = "mysqldump --opt -u root -proot si_clinic_pos > clinic.sql";
system($command, $output);

if($output != 0) {
  echo $output;
}else {
  echo 'Database saved';
}

The output is "127", but if I tried to execute the "mysqldump --opt -u root -proot si_clinic_pos > clinic.sql" inside terminal, it's working fine.

what's wrong with it, could you please help me?

The solution to the problem is to specify the full path to the executable file you want to run.

So, in this specific case, instead of:

$command = "mysqldump ...";

you need to have:

$command = "/usr/bin/mysqldump ...";

/bin/sh could not be executed, the exit status will be that of a command that does exit(127).I advice you run your PHP program as root user.
