Operating system: Windows 2000 Server
PHP version: 4.1.1
PHP Bug Type: Program Execution
Bug description: exec() only executes internal commands
Using any of the external program execution methods (exec(), passthru(),
etc.) only work with commands that are internal to the command
interpreter.
For example passthru("dir") or passthru("time /t") work fine, however
passthru("ping.exe localhost") or any other executable file - fails.
There is no error displayed, the script just continues execution without
any noticeable delay.
One funny thing is that if a bogus command is passed, eg.
passthru("blah_blah.exe"), a line is added to the Apache error log
saying:
'blah_blah.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
My setup is:
Windows 2000 Server, Apache 1.3.17, PHP 4.11 downloaded as binaries,
configurations pretty straightforward (safe_mode=Off!).
I'll be glad to provide any further information.
Eyal Zvi.
