Bug #17097: exec() always reports -1- as the return value of the executed command

From: djanix@hotmail.com Operating system: win32 PHP version: 4.0CVS-2002-05-08 PHP Bug Type: Filesystem function related Bug description: exec() always reports -1- as the return value of the executed command testret.c i made... : #include <stdio.h> int main( int argc, char *argv[] ) { return atol(argv[1]); } compiled that into testret.exe.... test.php i made... : <? exec( 'c:\testret.exe 3', $rlines, $rval ); var_dump( $rval ); ?> outputs... int(1) -------------------- i've traced through the source a bunch trying to find what changed that broke it - my last build (worked fine) was from the cvs head sometime in feb - so the big changes that affect exec() are the streams. FG(pclose_ret) is not set correctly inside of exec() - i don't feel like getting into the streams right now to find it and i assume someone on the dev team has all of that fresh in their head and can probably find this problem quickly :) and it's obviously important since i'm sure many many people rely on exec()... -benjamin -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17097&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17097&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17097&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17097&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17097&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17097&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17097&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17097&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17097&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17097&r=globals
