note 23589 added to function.system

For some reason, system() just assumes that I want the output printed whenever I call that function. I wonder why on Earth it's supposed to return the entire output as a string if it makes such an assumption in the first place. Anyone know how to turn that thing off? I just want the output in a variable, not on the screen. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.system.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+23589 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+23589 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+23589
