RE: [PHP-WIN] Exec() In Windows

Dear Ladies and Gents, That error message "Unable to fork" is stupid, because fork is not supported under Windows, as it is a Unix command to fork two processes. Windows uses multi-threading instead. They should just rename the error message to "Identified PHP4 error". :0) -- Jason -----Original Message----- From: Olivier Hubert [mailto:olivier.hubert@mail.transc.com] Sent: Thursday, 5 April 2001 8:06 AM To: zugut; php-windows@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] Exec() In Windows Hi, You've probably already looked into this, but I just wanted to be sure: have you checked the persmissions on "Application.exe" ? I believe PHP uses IUSR_Computer (where Computer is your computer name) to exec() anything so if IUSR_Computer doesn't have the rights to read+execute the program, it will return an error message. Hope this helps!
