Bug #7324 Updated: exec and system return -1

ID: 7324 Updated by: remove.randelld@fiprojects.com.com Reported By: shterng@akula.com Status: Closed Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: Linux 2.2.17 PHP Version: 4.0.3pl1 New Comment: I am using SuSE 7.1, Apache 1.3.14 and PHP 4.0.4pl1 - Using the examples you have online and in my PHP Core Programming book for the system() it fails - an example piece of code would be <? phpinfo(); system("ls -l"); ?> Replacing the 'ls -l' with a date command, with or without a pathname and quotes gets no response either. The only error I get is reported in my Apache error_log which says sh: /ls: No such file or directory Note, again, the message above occurs regardless if I prefix my command with its correct full pathname or not. In order to assist anybody who might be able to help I have uploaded my configuration files to http://www.fiprojects.com/php.ini.conf and http://www.fiprojects.com/httpd.conf Note, my php.ini file is called php.ini on my system, I haev renamed it to make it easier on most folks browsers on purpose. Many thanks - and keep up the good work... randell d.

It worked fine in 4.0.2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=7324&edit=1
