ID: 33413 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: ejepsen at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 4.4.0RC1 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. No, shell_exec() returns exactly what it gets from the command, it doesn't do any magical actions like summarizing or multiplying by 2. And no, bug #11386 is not related to your problem.
