New Comment:
I repeated the test using the CLI interface and was able to get 'php
-h' to run.
I also see that I can use the new streams functionality to create HTML
mail bodies. The problem with the streams approach is that (I believe)
the .php files need to be in the document tree, so if I go that route,
I have to add authentication.
Perhaps there is or you guys may be planning a way that allows http
streams from outside the doc tree?
Thanks again,
-Bob

Could you please try CLI version of PHP.EXE? It comes in the cli
directory of the standard ZIP distribution.

The following does not work. It spawns scores of processes, which
fortunately all die after 30 seconds.
<?
echo shell_exec("(path to php)/php.exe -h");
?>
I looked at the bug reports about possibly needing command.com but
these do not work either: (same result)
<?
echo shell_exec("command -c (path to php)/php.exe -h");
?>
<?
echo shell_exec("CMD /C (path to php)/php.exe -h");
?>
Why would I want to do this? To send html email using the PEAR mime
mail class, i.e.
<?
$htmlBody = shell_exec("(path to php)/php.exe
mimebody.php?param1=yada");
//rest of code to send mail...
?>
I downloaded and installed the standard windows installer, and the path
to php is C:\Inetpub\PHP
I have the same problem using back ticks as well.
Thanks very much for looking at this.
