Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52815&edit=1 ID: 52815 Updated by: kalle@php.net Reported by: bennet at mc dot edu Summary: pclose return value documentation. -Status: Open +Status: Assigned Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant -Assigned To: +Assigned To: kalle Block user comment: N New Comment: Ill take this one, seems like the source of pclose() tells that theres a difference between Windows and other systems in the value thats returned. Plus the "error" return value is not documented either. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-10-19 06:08:27] kalle@php.net Zeev doesn't fix documentation bugs, removing the assigned to status ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-19 16:09:07] markskilbeck@php.net Assigned to one of maintainers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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
