Brian,

The format of your string that works for me is :

$cmd = "scp $user@stagingcws.$tld:$directory/\{$files\} $tmp_dir";

$files must be a comma separated string with NO SPACES.

Here is my complete test script for your review:
==== START =====
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php

$file1 = 'file_A';
$file2 = 'file_B';
$file3 = 'file_C';
$files = "$file1,$file2,$file3";
$directory = '/tmp';
$user = 'root';
$tld = 'com';
$tmp_dir = '/tmp/test';
$cmd = "scp $user@bmw.$tld:$directory/\{$files\} $tmp_dir";

exec($cmd, $output, $err);

echo "string: $cmd \n";
echo "status:$err \n";
print_r($output);
?>
=== END ====

Hope this solves your problem.
--Bob
