note 32692 added to function.shell-exec

When running subprocesses via shell_exec (and maybe others) from Apache/mod_php4, Apache's environment variables don't seem to be passed on to the subprocess environment unless you specifically force them by using putenv something like this: $remaddr = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR"); putenv("REMOTE_ADDR=$remaddr"); shell_exec("/path/to/subprocess"); ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.shell-exec.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+32692 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+32692&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+32692&report=yes
