[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #2644: System(), Exec() and Passthru() are unable to fork process From: shearer <email protected>
Date: 10/31/99

From: shearer <email protected>
Operating system: NT 4.0 Server
PHP version: 4.0 Beta 2
PHP Bug Type: Misbehaving function
Bug description: System(), Exec() and Passthru() are unable to fork process

Using NT 4.0 Server and IIS 4.0, I am unable to get the functions System(), Exec() and Passthru() to start the command that is passes to the function as an argument.

Example: Mytest.exe is on the root of the c: drive.

system("c:\\Mytest.exe");

Gives the following message:

Warning: Unable to fork [c:\Mytest.exe]

The same result are displayed when I use Exec() and Passthru()
