#50663 [Opn->Bgs]: exec and shell_exec don't works with msginit

ID: 50663 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported By: samuel dot roze at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Program Execution Operating System: Debian 5 PHP Version: 5.3.1 New Comment: Sorry, but these types of issues are never PHP-related. You just proved it yourself that when you ran PHP in a cli environment, it worked fine. But in the Apache environment it didn't. Therefore it has to do with something in your Apache environment. Like environment variables, LOCALE, or maybe even a requirement for a controlling tty, or something along those lines. Regardless, it has nothing to do with PHP. strace the working one and compare it to the strace of the non- working one and figure out what is going on.

With the command, the message "/home/samuel/Développement/workspaces/PHP/GetTextEdit/tests/php/file.po a été créé." is printed on the shell, nothing is sent to PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-01-04 22:23:19] samuel dot roze at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The function exec or the shell_exec function are not working with the msginit (gettext) program. Reproduce code: --------------- Create an empty "/home/user/file.pot" file. <?php $exec = exec('msginit -i "/home/user/file.pot" -o "file.po"'); var_dump($exec); ?> Expected result: ---------------- string(X) "/home/d-sites/myonlinessh/includes/locales/ps_AK/messages a été créé." and that the file.po file was created. Actual result: -------------- string(0) "" and the file.po doesn't exists. Note: there's any error and the same command, with the www-data user (used by Apache) works in my shell! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50663&edit=1
