Changing the mode to 'rb' fixes the problem, but generates a warning and fails to open the pipe on Linux: Warning: popen(/usr/bin/unzip -p "/home/web/aktestb.avatartech.com/public/media_libraries/config_import.cic",rb): Invalid argument ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30990&edit=1
