#48905 [NEW]: calling a php script via exec gives 0 as return code not respecting exit.

From: lars dot a dot johansson at se dot atlascopco dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: calling a php script via exec gives 0 as return code not respecting exit. Description: ------------ Calling a php bug1B.php via exec gives invalid 0 as return code, when picking up 1 from caller when caller is PHP script. You call bug1A.php from a terminal. - ./bug1A.php Script bugA1.php invokes bug1B.php via exec() with parameter '1', which script bug1B.php picks up. It looks like all digits are converted to 0 (zero) if you do not explicit cast $argv[1] to integer. When you call bug1B from a shell script it works like expected, returning 1 as return code. Reproduce code: --------------- #!/home/tooljn/PHP5.3/local/bin/php <?php //this is the caller - bug1A.php $lastOutputLine = exec("./bug1B.php 1", $output, $sysRC); print "return code from bug1B.php rc=$sysRC\n"; ?> #!/home/tooljn/PHP5.3/local/bin/php <?php //this is the called - bug1B.php // If we take away cast (int) string "1" is converted to integer 0 (zero), when called from bug1A.php //if ($argc == 2 and ($argv[1] == '0' or $argv[1] == '1')) $rc = (int) $argv[1]; if ($argc == 2 and ($argv[1] == '0' or $argv[1] == '1')) $rc = $argv[1]; print "bug1B.php rc=$rc\n"; exit($rc); ?> Expected result: ---------------- return code from bug1B.php rc=1; Actual result: -------------- return code from bug1B.php rc=0; -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48905&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48905&r=mysqlcfg
