Pass arguments to a C CGI from PHP

[daryll1]

I've created a C script that rotates logs on my web server. It needs to receive 2 arguments, one whether the rotated log will be zipped and the other is the location of the log file.
This works fine in command line but I cannot get it to execute with the arguments in PHP.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My C script is below, usually compiled into rotate.cgi.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <string.h>


int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
	 char file[100];
	 char file1[100];
	 strcpy(file, argv[2]);
	 strcpy(file1, argv[2]);
	 char buffer[50];

     char comm[50];
     
     char test[2];int i = 0,counter1 = 0;
     struct tm *d;char li[13];
     
	time_t now;
	time(&now);
	d = localtime(&now);
	strftime(li, 25, "%F:%T", d);
	sprintf (buffer, "%s.%s", file, li);
	rename(file, buffer);

	FILE *fp;
	fp=fopen(file, "w");
	fclose(fp);
	
	if(strcmp(argv[1],"yes")==0)
	{
	sprintf(comm, "gzip %s.%s",file1,li);
	system(comm);
	}
	if(strcmp(argv[1],"all")==0)
	{
	sprintf(comm, "gzip %s.*",file1);
	system(comm);
	}
	
	exit(0);
}
