Operating system: Windows 98/ME
PHP version: 4.3.0
PHP Bug Type: Reproducible crash
Bug description: shell functions (system etc) cause crash
I get repeatable crashes on both Windows 98 and Windows ME running any
script which calls a shell function, like system(), exec(), or
shell_exec(). This applies to both 4.2.3 and 4.3.0, using either the CGI
or CLI executable. No web server is used on these machines, just DOS
command line or drag and drop script execution. I have tested this on two
different machines (one 98 and one ME).
An example script follows:
<?php
// Any of these commands will cause a crash.
// Comment out all but one:
`php hello.php`; // a hello world script
system("C:\\PHP\\php -r 'exit(1);'");
system('edit hello.php');
exec('C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE');
?>
A dialog comes up stating roughly, "This program has performed an illegal
operation and will be terminated. Close all programs and reboot the
computer." The dialog's details button describes the problem as, "The
program has encountered an invalid page exception," notes a fault location
of 0028:0009, and says no interrupts were in service.
My install process is to simply unpack the tar-ball and place it in
C:\php. I don't modify php.ini, and I don't install any extensions.
Purely unpack-and-go. I can execute fairly complex scripts with PHP
installed like this, but anything involving a shell crashes, requiring a
reboot.
