Note: All other PHP things have worked fine with the ISAPI module, I only found exec and system to be broken in my tests. BUT, if the file you want to execute is in windows/system32, the program will execute and you will receive a result, otherwise you will not. Also safe_mode is off, so it's not restricting the directory. Reproduce code: --------------- // This will NOT work (assuming netstat.exe is copied to c:\tools\ $command = "c:\\tools\\netstat.exe"; echo system($command); // This will work as its in system32 $command = "netstat"; echo system($command); // This also works $command = "c:\\windows\\system32\\netstat.exe"; echo system($command); Expected result: ---------------- I expect to see the netstat result on ALL 3 Actual result: -------------- The first echo returns nothing, the last 2 return results ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34619&edit=1
