Cool Beans... I am finishing a Web Hosting control panel in php and perl and getting 
ready to start looking through php's source code.  I've had some other workarounds 
since that one.  I found host headers not working correctly with fopen on Win32.  
Also, is_dir not recognizing directories and stat not recognizing files (or something 
like that... can't recall now)

"echo" is not a command under windows, rather something built into the shell 
(cmd.exe). Hence the error message is correct - you can't run a command that doesn't 
exist. You should use something like "cmd /c echo hello world".

I'll do us both a favour and ignore your other comments

<?php
    print `echo hello world`;
?>

I have tried exec, backticks, system, passthru, and they all do not work.  When 
running the CGI version, there is no message displayed.  When running the isapi 
version, I get the error message "Warning: Unable to fork [echo hello world] in 
c:inetpubwwwroothorus.atlantic.nettest.php on line 3".  It seems that this has been 
going on for a while now.  "CreateProcess" is a very simple Windows API call.  If PHP 
is going to beat ASP, this needs to be resolved.
