Operating system: NT 4.0 Server
PHP version: 4.0 Beta 2
PHP Bug Type: Misbehaving function
Bug description: System(), Exec() and Passthru() are unable to fork process
Using NT 4.0 Server and IIS 4.0, I am unable to get the functions System(), Exec() and Passthru() to
start the command that is passes to the function as an argument.
Example: Mytest.exe is on the root of the c: drive.
system("c:\\Mytest.exe");
Gives the following message:
Warning: Unable to fork [c:\Mytest.exe]
The same result are displayed when I use Exec() and Passthru()
