re enable access to cmd.exe for php:

if you are using IIS, then PHP will be run using the IWAM_<machinename>
account. so you would have to set the right for cmd.exe to include this
account.

if you are using a different web server, then I have no idea what
account would need access to cmd.exe

re stopping php from prepending "cmd /c ":

not that I know of, and hence the bug report that I posted requesting
the developers changing it.

Is there a way to enable access to cmd.exe so that it is only available
to php.exe?
Or a way of stopping php prepending "cmd.exe /c " in front of any calls
to exec?

thanks.

this is a suggestion to the developers to do, because the only way for
a script writer to solve this is to enabled access to cmd.exe which
many would perfer to not have to do.

clarification: is this a suggestion of a way to fix the problem myself
(so I can call programs), or a suggestion to the developers?
