Tried it on 4.0.7, 4.1RC1a (with the win patch) and 4.2-dev
Failed on the lot of them with same behaviour (works in the command prompt, hangs in the browser).

Can you try the latest CVS? Or a development-binary from http://208.44.124.20/php-dev-win/

Does this problem still occur?

exec(), system(), etc. cause php to hang when called through the browser. when executed from the
command line, it works fine.

I'm running PHP4.06, PWS, Win98SE. I'm using the PHP binary downloaded from php.net.

I have a batch file, test.bat which contains one line:
echo Hello

My PHP script is:

$cmd="test.bat";
echo "Executing command: [$cmd]\n";
system($cmd,$value);
echo "Return value is: $value\n";

When I run this from the command line, ie. php test.bat, it works as expected. When I call the
script from the browser, a command window opens and closes quickly, I get no output in the browser
and the browser keeps trying to load the script. If I hit stop, the browser stops with nothing
retrieved at all. PHP is still listed in the task list when pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL.
