RE: note 38151 rejected and deleted from function.exec by notes editor didou

Why did you reject my post. I'm not a newbie. I was merely pointing out that the last post on this page: http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php states that one CAN use an '&' when in fact, you can't. so really, you should remove that post of 'prices at dflytech dot com' which is erroneous.
