Problem with popen on php-4.1.1

Hi all, I have a very small example which was working on php-4.0.6 (actually taken from the documentation, was one of the user examples) - please find it below: Files in directory: writer.php textfile.txt -------------------------- <? $text = "hello"; $fpop=popen("vi testfile.txt","w"); fputs($fpop,"i"); fputs($fpop,"$text"); fputs($fpop,chr(27)); fputs($fpop,":wq\r"); pclose($fpop); ?> This little snippet simply refuses to work on php-4.1.1. I had a look at the ChangeLog and bug reports, but couldn't find anything which would help. Any assistance would be appreciated! -m. _____________________________________________________________ Sign up for FREE email from 'Probed By Aliens' and other insane addresses at http://www.tshirthell.com
