RE: [PHP] exec

I got it to work, sort of. Changed exec('c:\mydir\unzip myfile.zip -d c:\mydir\mydata\'); to exec('c:\mydir\unzip c:\mydir\myfile.zip -d c:\mydir\mydata\'); but it hangs. Extract the file but it hangs and I have to restart apache. I have tried exec($mycom, $myresult); print_r($myresult); this says "Unable to Fork [...]"! I had read through the archive and it says something about the number of precesses that can run at one time. Why does the first case show no errors? I found no solution, everyone seams to have a theory though. I need to use the second case since am am looping through and array and using the array value as the file name. I have tried exec("c:\....." .$data. ""); but it didn't like it. Any ideas here Ajdin On Wed, 10 Oct 2001, ArsenKirillov wrote: > 1.
