I am using .sh file to create text file and its working fine but when i am trying run this .sh file using php then its not working ??

"it's not working" is not a qualified error report.
Maybe it is a permission issue because PHP is executed with a different user that the user you use executing this .sh script yourself?

Yes, maybe.

A path or a permission problem, but without proper error message and without any coding it is absolutely impossible to give any hint.

working with root and and given chmod 755 to all folders which i am using in my coding ..

path for php page and also for .sh files are : /opt/lampp/htdocs (with permission of 755)

code for php file : <?php
$output = shell_exec('my_script.sh2>&1');
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";
?>
my_scrip.sh code : !/bin/bash
# My first script

ls -l -h >output.txt

here permisson for my_script.sh and php file is 755

This does not seam to look correct. You seem to want to pipe stderr, but pipe it to where? And i am very sure there has to be a whitespace after the filename.

It does not matter, what YOUR userid is (even root does not help), because PHP is executed via Apache and Apache runs with a different Userid (see httpd.conf). This User (mostly "daemon" or "www" or similar) must have sufficient rights for creating files in htdocs.

This is badly wrong, there is missing a space between my_script.sh and 2>&1, also my_script.sh is not preceeded by any path, so the System is looking up the PATH variable, which normally does NOT contain the current directory (i.e. '.'), neither /opt/lampp/htdocs. Therefore my_script.sh wont be found by the shell.

Sorry for late reply... first of all thanks for your help... problem has been resolved with providing rights -R 755 to /opt/lampp
