From: pjaleysen at hotmail dot com Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 4.2.3 PHP Bug Type: Output Control Bug description: shell_exec not working on windows XP
Hi, shell_exec(),as well as exec(),system(), can only handle 'native' DOS applications like ping,copy,attrib etc. either directly as a command, or though a *.bat file. Executing other (DOS) applications like pkzip (for DOS) or (rar for dos) don't seem to work. There is a thread of this issue at www.devshed.com (http://forums.devshed.com/t55038/s.html) I am using: -Windows XP -Apache 1.3.27 -PHP4.3 All with the default configurations.
