note 29997 added to function.system

After banging my head against the wall for several hours (not consecutively thankfully), I discovered that the program execution functions do not support long file names in Windows. Either that or they do not support paths with spaces in them. For example, I was trying to call Apache's htpasswd utility to add users to an htpasswd file: c:\program files\apache group\apache2\bin\htpasswd but whenever I tried using system to call this, I got no output and an error code. So I eventually I tried this: c:\progra~1\apache~1\apache2\bin\htpasswd and it worked like a charm. Hope this helps someone. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.system.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+29997 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+29997 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+29997
