The reason is that proc_open accepts only a string to define the command, so that a command line parser is required under the hood. This also creates the long-lasting issue with signaling, where the shell get them instead of the command itself. Both issues would be fixed by having a way to launch shell-less command lines. All programming language have this, but PHP. proc_open($array, ...) could be the way to go. We're missing this badly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78177&edit=1
