[PHP-DEV] [Feature] new run() function for php 3.0.15 From: Luca Montecchiani (luca.montecchiani <email protected>)
Date: 03/23/00

Hi all,

We're using php as our standard scripting language
for a new multiplatform application.

Such application will not be a Web based application
and will take advantage about all nice php functions
say ftp,files,crypth,....

We found that php ,due his web oriented nature, lack
of a true system() function that return the exit status
of the called process and forget about his stdout.

We just add a "run()" function that do it in Unix and
Win32 environment, here some examples:

$res = run("notepad.exe");
$res = run("winword.exe &");
$res = run("df");

Comments are welcome, thanks
luca
