note 39530 added to function.exec

If you are having trouble getting exec to work, try shell_exec instead... it's a mystery to me, but after many hours of banging my head against the wall... I simply could not get exec to work. So then I started poking around the docs etc. and decided to try shell_exec And it worked exactly like it's supposed to, on the very first try, and got the job done. I still don't know what the problem was with exec, it kept complaining about Access Permissions. Don't waste your time trying to solve it when a good alternate is available. -- Erik ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+39530 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+39530&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+39530&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
