Using linux

<?php
exec("/bin/tar -cvzf myfile.tgz /home/",$arrayout,$returnval);
?>

or perhaps try it on your system and tell me if it does/doesnt and what
your linux is?

I've also tried

<?php
exec("/bin/tar -c * \| gzip \> myfile.tgz",$arrayout,$returnval);
?>

Both work fine from the command line neither work at all from PHP
