I am testing on Window 2000, Apache, and PHP 4 (latest release). Is it possible to execute a command / program from PHP? I tried using the system() function, but i get an unable to fork error. I looked through the mailing list archives, and it looks like this might be known bug. Is there any other way to execute a command line program from PHP on this platform (that works)? thanks... mike chambers mesh@speakeasy.org
