Or...

The user that is executing the PHP script does not have write access to 
/var/run/asterisk.ctl.

Is the user executing the PHP script the same user executing the Asterisk 
process?

Changing the permission on /var/run/asterisk.ctl or executing 'sudo 
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rnx "pri show spans"' may help.

Personally, I think the 'system()' approach is a 'quick and dirty hack' 
and you really should be using AMI.
