Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52815&edit=1 ID: 52815 Updated by: markskilbeck@php.net Reported by: bennet at mc dot edu Summary: pclose return value documentation. Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant -Assigned To: +Assigned To: zeev Block user comment: N New Comment: Assigned to one of maintainers Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-11 07:22:20] bennet at mc dot edu Description: ------------ Judging by some limited experience and the user notes, it appears that the meaning of the return value from pclose() depends on whether php is installed as an Apache module or run as CGI. In the former case, it seems to return the actual exit code, while in the later it seems to return the system status value which has to be pulled apart with pctl functions. If this is right, the documentation should reflect it. If not, the user comments indicate considerable confusion on the subject, with contradictory claims. A clarification seems necessary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52815&edit=1
