Re: [PHP] Problems with exec() on windows
I can confirm the presence of the same issue on my installation, 5.2.9-2 on Windows XP. Very annoying bug. -- This message was sent on behalf of henrikol...@gmail.com at openSubscriber.com http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/php-general@lists.php.net/11719414.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Problems with exec() on windows
Hi, I'm trying to use exec to call gammu.exe and send sms on windows XP. This works from commandline: C:\path\to\gammu.exe 1 --sendsms EMS 200 -text test1 test2 But if I run it through php like this: $command = \C:\path\to\gammu.exe\ --sendsms EMS 200 -text \test1 test2\.; @exec($command, $response, $retval); This always fails, returns 1 and the response is empty. If the last argument is a string with no spaces, and the double quotes were omitted, it works perfectly. If the double quotes are added around the string with no spaces, it fails again, which makes me believe that the problem is with the double quotes. I've used procmon and it shows that when the double quotes are added around the last argument, gammu.exe is not even called at all. Problem is that the double quotes are required by gammu to send an sms with spaces in it. Any ideas? :-( Luke

Re: [PHP] problems with exec() SOLVED
Thanks for the help. :) I posted to the freeBSD list and was given the answer there. in case anyone is interested and for the sake of the archive, I needed a path specified in the shell script. The following URL provides the necessary info for fixing the script. http://linux.dbw.org/shellscript_howto.html again thanks.

Re: [PHP] problems with exec()
What is the safe_mode value in your php.ini?
To run exec the value of your safe_mode has to be OFF.

Think he's not getting an general error - just didn't read the manual concerning
the return value of exec.

Re: [PHP] problems with exec()
Hi, thanks for your help.
I was using
exec('/path/to/copy', $return);
var_dump($return);
(but I simplified it for posting)
and I was still getting no output.
actually, the return value is the least of my concerns, I just want this
script to move some files around and the script works from the command line.
as for safe_mode, it's off. Also the whoami in the previous line works as
expected.
Any pointers would be appreciared.

Re: [PHP] problems with exec()
Output you will only get if something goes wrong with the copy process.
But then again you say the 'whoami' command runs perfect. So the only things
that
comes to my sleepy brain is incorrect paths or permissions.
Tried it here with 5.2 and 4.4.4 and seems to work. Maybe somebody else has
a clue what's going on.
