#23949 [NEW]: exec() interferes with header()

From: drigolin at iol dot it Operating system: Windows 2000 Server PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Output Control Bug description: exec() interferes with header() Using this code: <?php exec("online.bat param1"); header("Location:http://myserver/mypage.php"); exit; ?> my browsers (IE and Mozilla) instead of do a redirect they display this message: Status: 302 Content-type: text/html X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.1 Location:http://myserver/mypage.php That is the full "dump" of the HTTP header of a Redirect (302) but it seems that exec() put into output stream any char that causes browsers to misunderstand the header and consider it an "raw text output". Commenting exec or calling other function makes the script working correctly and the browser works ok. Best regards. P.S.: PHP is working as CGI on Netscape iPlanet Web Server. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23949&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23949&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23949&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23949&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23949&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23949&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23949&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23949&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23949&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23949&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23949&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23949&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23949&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23949&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23949&r=gnused
