#43132 [NEW]: Date returned from exec command is formatted

From: jpozzoli at yahoo dot com Operating system: Debian Linux 2.6.18-5-686 PHP version: 5.2.4 PHP Bug Type: CGI related Bug description: Date returned from exec command is formatted Description: ------------ This is on Debian PHP version 5.2.0-8+etch7 running on Apache/2.2.3 When trying to get the last reboot date of a linux server, from the command line I run "who -b". More precisely, I run "who -b|awk \'{print $3" "$4}\'" which, on the CLI, returns "2007-10-18 04:45". When I run the PHP command echo exec('who -b|awk \'{print $3" "$4}\''); I get the following result: Oct 18 Obviously, this has been formatted by PHP. To make sure of this, I tried this: $rebootdate = strftime("%m-%d-%Y %I:%M%p", strtotime($rebootdateexec)); This get's closer. It outputs "10-18-2007 12:00AM". So it got the date but missed the time. Reproduce code: --------------- $rebootdateexec = exec('who -b|awk \'{print $3" "$4}\''); echo $rebootdateexec; $rebootdate = strftime("%m-%d-%Y %I:%M%p", strtotime($rebootdateexec)); echo $rebootdate; Expected result: ---------------- $rebootdateexec = 2007-10-18 04:45 $rebootdate = 10-18-2007 04:45AM Actual result: -------------- $rebootdateexec = Oct 18 $rebootdate = 10-18-2007 12:00AM -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43132&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43132&r=mysqlcfg
