note 88621 added to function.shell-exec

Easy way to capture error output in windows // we'll execute a php script as an example: $out = shell_exec("php test.php 2> output"); print $out ? $out : join("", file("output")); We assume in this case if the script produces output it has ran ok, the $out variable will then contain the output, if $out is empty then we read the captured error output from a file simply called 'output'.
