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
