note 23675 added to function.shell-exec

Hello All, Can someone help me out? I am using shell_exec to call an expect script. Everything outputs correctly, however, I can't figure out how to get the exit status that the expect file returned. I tried outputing shell_exec(echo $status), but it seems to always be returning "\n"(for whatever reason). Does anyone have experience with this or know what the problem could be? Thanks, Joelle <? $ouput = shell_exec(./expect ./roll.exp); echo(nl2br($ouput)); echo(nl2br(shell_exec(echo $status)); ?> I know if I enter this directly in shell everything works fine. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.shell-exec.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+23675 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+23675 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+23675
