ID: 44919 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: chris at p5nettrain dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Fedora Core 1 PHP Version: 4.4.8 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Most likely due to permissions.

When I run the following script: <?php system('ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0'); system('ifconfig eth0'); ?> In the command line, it works. But when I go to my web browser (either Firefox or Internet Explorer) it doesn't change the ip address - it does execute the second system command. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44919&edit=1
