For instance, we have a machine named phony.wwc.edu, but in apache we set the ServerName to hotnest.wwc.edu. Suddenly doing something like system("echo blah",$errno); print $errno; prints -1 instead of 0. This is completely unrelated to safe mode, btw. (which was our first suspect) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=1289&edit=1
