Check mysql status via exec (php) fails

Question:

Hello I have vps on debian. There was a need to find out through php status mysql. Accordingly, I run:

echo exec('/usr/sbin/service mysql status');

Issues

MySQL is stopped..

Moreover, if the same code

/usr/sbin/service mysql status

run from console, gives normal statistics (while I work, mysql is on).

How is this possible? Why doesn't he swear in any way, but gives incorrect data? And, actually, what to do, how to fix it?

Help, please, I really need it.

UPD. I need to run SH and not anything else

The question is closed, I bypassed it from the other side. As the saying goes – until you ask someone, you won't understand how to fix it. The fact that the answers did not come to the cashier at all does not matter here.

Answer:

I wonder what he writes about stopped … Most likely there are not enough rights.

$  /usr/sbin/service mysql status
[info] MySQL (Percona Server) is stopped..

If so?

exec('sudo /usr/sbin/service mysql status', $result);
var_dump($result);

There is also a mysql-stat function. Maybe it will suit you.

How did you get around? Interestingly)
