Re: Where do i look up return status codes?

Thanks, that's what i thought. The perl script is mine so it must be the perl interpreter kicking out the code. But I have the definitive perl "camel" book and it doesn't list any numeric codes. i'd ask a perl forum about where i can look up error codes but this time i solved the problem. It was a safe_mode violation: /bin/perl was not in my safe_mode_exec_dir directory (as defined by php.ini). george Chris Carbaugh wrote: > I'm not familiar with perl, but I would said either the script it's self > is returning the code, or the perl interpreter. > > Chris > > On Tue, 20 Feb 2001, George Herson wrote: > > Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2001 12:13:35 -0500 > > To: php-general@lists.php.net > > From: George Herson <gherson@snet.net> > > Subject: [PHP] Where do i look up return status codes? > > > > How do i find out what the return status of an exec() executed > > command > > means?
