Hi guys and gals,

I have a weird problem with is_executble(), it is returning false when it seems like it should return true. This is on a cpanel server with the following:

Apache 1.3.x
PHP 5.2.5
RHE


Here is my test script:

<?php
clearstatcache();

$r = is_executable("curl");  // The offending function.

echo "Is Exec: ";
echo  ($r)? "True":"False";  //Getting printable output.
echo "<br><br>";

exec("curl --version", $output); // Actually executing it to make sure it is there.
print_r($output);
?>

Here is my output:

---- out put to the browser -----

Is Exec: False

Array ( [0] => curl 7.15.3 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.15.3 OpenSSL/0.9.7a zlib/1.1.4 [1] => Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap http file https ftps [2] => Features: Largefile NTLM SSL libz )

---- end of output ---------------

I am not sure where to go from here. I wish I didn't have to deal with this, but the is_executable function is buried in xcart and I don't want to start moding the core. It seems like I might have some other problem that I am just not seeing.

Thanks in advance,
Hans K
