Bug #14359 Updated: problem with exec and system, can't be fixed by 4.1.0RC4

ID: 14359 User updated by: davidfelton@codemasters.com Reported By: davidfelton@codemasters.com Old Status: Feedback Status: Open Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: windows 2000 server, IIS5 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Crypt was the first one I came across, and since my site fundamentally requires the use of this function, I saw no sense in continuing further with 4.1.0RC4, and replaced it with 4.0.6 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-06 04:57:55] derick@php.net Status = feedback ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-06 04:57:39] derick@php.net What functions are not supported by RC4? only crypt? Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-06 04:56:16] davidfelton@codemasters.com I know this bug with 4.0.6 has already been reported - the exec, system functions all fail with the error 'cannot fork', the solution was to use one of the release candidates of PHP 4.1.0, which DOES fix the issue, on the other hand, these releases do not support functions (for example crypt) that are absolutely needed, therefore making the solution unusable. I have been using 4.1.0RC4, and have since gone back to 4.0.6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14359&edit=1
