First of all, why are you using CVS? This is 2010 ;)

Secondly, what do you mean by 'does not work'? What happens? What doesn't happen? Do you receive any errors? What output do you get? What does var_dump($cvs); show?

:) firstly ,thanks for your help!
1 there are no errros , and $cvs shows empty! ,if i use system('cvs udpate -d',$return), $returns echos 1, accord to the php manual Returns the last line of the command output on success, and FALSE on failure
cvs command dosent be executed in php,why? other command like dir ls etc can run successful ................................
