Okay here is my two cents for Windows users having "Unable to fork..." errors when executing "shell_exec" or "system" functions. After numerous hours of testing, I realized that this error is a result of insufficient file permissions. You will need to locate c:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe and set the permission to at least Read & Executable for Internet Guest user accounts. Then you should be able to run your script without a problem. If you still have a problem feel free to contact me by email. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+32601 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+32601&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+32601&report=yes
