PHP 4.0 Bug #8496 Updated: Executing external programs

ID: 8496 Updated by: cynic Reported By: grj@windows2k.dk Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: IIS related Assigned To: Comments: from the manual: exec() executes the given command, however it does not output anything. Returns the last line of the command output on success, and false on failure. If you need to execute a command and have all the data from the command passed directly back without any interference, use the PassThru() function. both of these functions work on my machine (NT5, Apache 1.3.15-dev, php4-200101080345), if they fail on IIS, reopen.
