Bug #68668 [Opn->Nab]: popen does not pass variables

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68668&edit=1 ID: 68668 Updated by: ab@php.net Reported by: sandor_hadas at hotmail dot com Summary: popen does not pass variables -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Output Control Operating System: Windows 7 x64 PHP Version: 5.6.4 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: You seem to have PHP not available on the %path%. Note that your command will expand to cmd /c "php x.php" That means the returned $handle will still be valid, as cmd is always available. Same on linux actually. So you could use PHP_BINARY or better define an exact path to php.exe on your system. And you should be always checking the error messaged returned from the shell. Thanks.

The problem on windows is that the "abc" string is not received in the x.php file while outer.php reports that the appropriate number of bytes were successfully written. Test script: --------------- outer.php (this is executed) $handle = popen('php x.php', 'w'); $write = fwrite($handle, "abc\r\n"); fflush($handle); echo $write; sleep(10); pclose($handle); x.php (this receives "abc" on linux, received nothing on windows) do { $c = fgets(STDIN); print($c); } while (!feof(STDIN)); sleep(10); Expected result: ---------------- x.php receives the 5 characters fwrite sent. Actual result: -------------- Data not received. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68668&edit=1
