[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #8465: Cannot exec, system, passthru, backticks From: che <email protected>
Date: 12/28/00

From: che <email protected>
Operating system: Windows 2000 Server
PHP version: 4.0.4
PHP Bug Type: Program Execution
Bug description: Cannot exec, system, passthru, backticks

<?php
    print `echo hello world`;
?>

I have tried exec, backticks, system, passthru, and they all do not work. When running the CGI version, there is no message displayed. When running the isapi version, I get the error message "Warning: Unable to fork [echo hello world] in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\horus.atlantic.net\test.php on line 3". It seems that this has been going on for a while now. "CreateProcess" is a very simple Windows API call. If PHP is going to beat ASP, this needs to be resolved.
