I'm confused--your PHP script fails to run condor_submit, or your job is 
submitted, but it fails to execute the job?

If it's the former, I can't offer much help.

If it's the latter, then realize that the environment for your job may not 
be what you expect. Many users use "getenv = true" in their submit files to 
get the same environment that they have when they submit the jobs. If you 
submit from PHP, this may not help you because the environment may not be 
quite what you expect. You can try two things:

  1) Run a simple script that prints out the environment--particularly
     the PATH, and see what it is.
  2) Explicitly set the environment in the submit file with the
     "environment = " option.

I hope this helps,
