Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-03-09 13:58:33] cmb@php.net I cannot reproduce this (PHP 7.4, IIS 10). Is this still an issue for you with any of the actively supported PHP versions[1]?

The same call works on CLI. Why is a prior echo'ing needed to get it working in the browser? Issue solved with the workaround provided here: http://www.php.net/manual/fr/function.exec.php#110617 Test script: --------------- <?php $output = array(); $return_code = 0; // hangs in browser, but works on CLI exec('powershell "New-Object -com WScript.Shell | Get-Member"', $output); // works (in browser and on CLI) //exec('echo . | powershell "New-Object -com WScript.Shell | Get-Member"', $output); echo "<pre>"; foreach($output as $line) { echo $line . PHP_EOL; } echo "</pre>"; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67088&edit=1
