Re: calling php script from C - pclose problem

That doesn't sound right... it's more likely that you're doing something funky in your process (not php) with SIGCHLD so that wait4() misses the event when you pclose. My suggestion: strace your stuff and look for rogue signal() and wait style calls that might be screwing things up. Third party libraries (in particular, OCI) can have this kind of effect. --Wez.
