It's not actually my intention to use "ls" as the program. I'm just trying
to get *something* to work at this point so that I can trouble shoot why
I'm getting no output. My actual intention is to use jhead, or perhaps
exif to get information from images taken with a digital camera. My
client's server is running an older version of PHP that does not support
the read_exif_data() function.
