Bug description: exec(), system(), ... without reply
<?php
$output = exec("echo hello");
echo "$output";
?>
...will nothing display!
(that's wrong!)
<?php
$output = exec("echo hello > hello.txt");
?>
...will create a file named hello.txt with the value hello.
(that's fine.)
So the function exec() works properly but it gives no value back. The same problem occures in the
function system() or in the backticks.
I'm using Windows 2000 with IIS.
