Bug #14701 Updated: Execute program

ID: 14701 Updated by: imajes Reported By: ngotau@hotmail.com Old Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Windows2000 PHP Version: 4.1.0 New Comment: What you are describing is normal behaviour. The way exec() works is that it executes the first argument, and then returns all the output to the second argument as an array. Finally, any status the command returns is sent to the third argument, if specified.
