note 24194 added to function.system

If you're simply looking for a return value, use exec(). It's broken anyways (doesn't really fork to new process, replacing old process like you'd expect), so you might as well use it until system() is fixed. BTW, the mysystem code above doesn't work with all system commands. For instance, try getting it to work with "id". -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.system.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+24194 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+24194 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+24194
