Bug description: browser hangs with exec()
Description:
------------
I've been trying to call a Win NT executable from a PHP4 script and the
result is very strange. The browser hangs, and not finish to show results.
If I stop the navigation, nothing appens.
The script execute an win app like that:
<?
//...more code here..
exec("c:\appdir\appname.exe");
//...more code here..
?>
The code after the execution is not show in the browser. The app executes
normally, but after the execution the script maybe hangs the browser.
PHP was installed like a ISAPI module, not CGI.
All help appreciated.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$server_path = "c:\\sites\\mysite\\uploaded\\";
mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$filename_doc = strval(mt_rand(1, intval(1000))) . ".doc";
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $server_path .
$filename_doc);
$filename = strval(mt_rand(1, intval(1000))) . ".htm";
$arr = array();
$exe_app = $server_path . "ConvertDoc.exe";
$params = " /S " . $server_path . $filename_doc . " /F9 /T " .
$server_path . $filename . " /C4 /M2 /L " . $server_path . "wordlog.log
/V";
exec($exe_app . $params, $arr, $return_val);
