I'm going to make a wild leap in logic and say that it has to do with 
the PATH that exists in the environment PHP is running in.  Do this for me:

bash$ which php

(if that doesn't work, use whereis)

and the output of this:

<?php

echo getenv('PATH');

?>

Which distro / version of Linux are you running, by the way?
