O shit, i changed the environnements variables in windows adding entries for php and now nothing
works anymore.
Ten php websites shutdown, it's a nightmare !

@kalle@php.net thanks for your reply.
I have just reading it.
Ten hours now, that's going to drive me crazy.
I will definitely need your help, i swear on God that the code was perfectly working until last
week.
But now i'm starting to think that was by pure luck..
You are right this is not a php bug .
I was incriminate php because the problem happening in the same time than an automatic update of php
by plesk..
I will try to run a php script..
I'll keep you informed

Hi Jean, the reason why it doesn't work has nothing to do with PHP, but the operating system
that PHP is installed off. In this case Windows, you will need to register extension as an
executable before calling that extension directly will work.
For example to make the script work for .php files, you would need to do:
1) Modify PATH to include a location to where PHP is installed
2) Modify PATHEXT to include .php
3) Run 'assoc .php=phpfile'
4) Run 'ftype phpfile="C:\path\to\php" -f "%1" -- %~2'
The same concept can be applied to Python, and that was probably the case on your host system, but
it probably doesn't work because PHP7 was installed in a different place.
You can see more about this in the manual:

Thank you for using PHP!

Thanks for your help,but
$cmd='.\assets\python\service-account.py C:\\Python27\\python.exe';
exec("$cmd", $output);
is working perfectly well on three differents servers and php configurations since 2 years now.
however, you are right,
$cmd='C:\\Python27\\python.exe .\assets\python\service-account.py ';
exec("$cmd", $output);
works as well.
The two syntaxes work, not so sure one of them must be prohibited ?
Whatever, the code was working perfectly well until the php 7 update from 7.0.0 to 7.0.21 and i am
still looking why

Obvious mistake in the command.
Thanks.
