#33790 [NEW]: Exec command trims spaces from output

From: marcus at names dot co dot uk Operating system: Linux 2.4 PHP version: 4.4.0 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: Exec command trims spaces from output Description: ------------ Each line in the output array returned as the second parameter of exec() is trimmed so that all white space is removed, rather than just new line characters. I found this issue while trying to use the following command to find all files in the current directory whose name ends in a space: exec("find . -name '* '",$output_array,$status); However, in $output_array the filenames have been trimmed so that they no longer end in a space. Reproduce code: --------------- exec("find . -name '* '",$output_array,$status); Expected result: ---------------- array( "file1 " "file2 " ); Actual result: -------------- array( "file1" "file2" ); -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33790&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33790&r=mysqlcfg
