system('svn up .', $retval);
system('/usr/bin/svn up --username xxx --password --- /my_path', $retval);

Answer 1

I wouldn’t use php for this type of task. Rather I would use ssh to publish from the localhost to the remote host to bring that server up to date

ssh my_user@my_host.com "/usr/bin/svn up /my_path"

This is more secure and more suited for a system level task.
