note 86444 added to function.exec

If you're having problems with any of the exec(), system() etc. functions not working properly on windows, finding the cause can be very frustrating, as is hard to diagnose. I've found the free Process Monitor from Sysinternals (procmon.exe from live.sysinternals.com) to be VERY helpful here. You can monitor anything done by e.g. php.exe, cmd.exe and yourprogram.exe and it will list every access to files, registry etc. with return codes. You usually find some ACCESS DENIED somehwer in the log, correct the file's permissions and it works. Has saved me a LOT of time. ---- Server IP: 217.160.72.57 Probable Submitter: 213.39.160.49 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/86444 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86444/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86444/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86444/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86444/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86444/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86444/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86444 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/86444 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
