#38068 [NEW]: execution of an outside process

From: cohen_james at walla dot com Operating system: WinXP PHP version: 5.1.4 PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: execution of an outside process Description: ------------ After reviewing hundreds of sessions and forums outside and inside this site I still can't make a program run correctly from the PHP. I've programmed an .exe program that outputs two files: a .bmp file and a .txt file and then exits. Whenever I execute my program using php commands (exec, shell_exec, COM+run etc..) I never get these files. It seems to me that its I/Os are redirected somewhere else by the PHP and didn't find any tutorial regarding how to disable this feature. Does a solution to that problem exist for the WinXP version ?
