I was expecting it to spit out an error. I didn't notice until I went to add switches to the command. Same behaviour with exec(). I expect it to be a language syntax problem. Just incase you're missed it, theres no "" '' `` or $ on the front or around the first argument. Reproduce code: --------------- <? echo "<br>::".system(quota)."::<br>"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- a warning/error, argument is invalid Actual result: -------------- Disk quotas for user wargames (uid 1009): Filesystem usage quota limit grace files quota limit grace /usr 55580 102400 102400 1167 0 0 :: /usr 55580 102400 102400 1167 0 0:: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28299&edit=1
