[PHP-WIN] Unable to Fork error using exec() or system() From: Dave Marr (dave <email protected>)
Date: 03/24/03

I am using IIS6 and PHP 4.3.2-RC. Any time I try to use the exec() or
system() functions to run an external program, I get the "Unable to Fork"
error. I have execute rights on the applicaiton I am trying to run. The
problem is PHP prepends "cmd.exe /c" to any exec() or system() calls. That
means I need to give cmd.exe execute rights for the anonymous web user
account. This opens up a HUGE security breach, and I was wondering if there
are any plans to stop PHP from prepending that or workarounds for the Unable
to Fork error. I know many people must run into this problem, there has to
be a way around it!

Thanks,
Dave
