RTFM: http://php.net/exec Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-06-02 13:26:52] Arne dot Heizmann at csr dot com Could we have this fix in the next version please? Just remove all the code that removes the whitespace? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-25 18:24:43] felipe@php.net Because that is intentional, however, it affect results as your case, when the string is consisting entirely of whitespace. Well, anyway, maybe this isn't a good idea, it was only my idea. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-25 17:59:46] Arne dot Heizmann at csr dot com > The actual implementation strip trailing whitespaces, my patch also do > it, but when the string contains only whitespaces, it remove just \r > and \n.
