#22662 [Opn]: shell_exec not working on windows XP

ID: 22662 User updated by: pjaleysen at hotmail dot com Reported By: pjaleysen at hotmail dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Program Execution Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: Executing Windows-based applications work alright, but not the ones running in DOS. e.g. I am using winzip now instead of pkzip.exe for dos. Because I have to use windows application, it will mke the php code less portable, since I have to use installed software Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-13 06:33:40] pjaleysen at hotmail dot com Nope, paths, all of that excluded.I tried to put some details below, comming from http://forums.devshed.com/t55038/s.html (which also deals with the various path issues. Many others also had a look at it). At the very end of the forum there is an assumption that it is a WinXP problem, since win2000 works fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-13 06:25:57] hholzgra@php.net %PATH% issue? (blind guess) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-13 03:01:51] pjaleysen at hotmail dot com HI, I tried it out with PHP Version 4.3.2-RC but the problem remains; native MS-DOS commands work fine, other DOS-applications do not respond. kind regards Patrick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-12 17:05:51] sniper@php.net Yes, but the snapshot is 4.3.2-dev so try it out. We're about to release 4.3.2 soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-12 17:04:09] pjaleysen at hotmail dot com I have the same problem with php4.3 (at home) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
