Thank you for the fast reply. I have tried the latest CVS snapshot (php5.2-200804231230) and I still get the same incorrect output. It sounds like some library in RHEL3 which PHP uses is behaving differently than on newer platforms. If it helps, I have another server running the same version of RHEL3 which has the default version of PHP still on it (updated via 'up2date'), rather than one that I compiled. I know you don't support PHP 4.3 any longer, I'm just pointing it out in case it helps to know that this test case has been broken on RHEL3 for awhile, it's not a problem unique to my compiled version, and the problem didn't just appear in PHP 5.2. I do get slightly different output there, but it is still incorrect.

Works fine for me using 5.2.6-RC4. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-22 19:16:55] twm at twmacinta dot com Description: ------------ When I run a PHP script which uses passthru() to execute a command with characters that need escaping, the escaping is incorrect when the script is run from the command line, but it is fine when the script is run from within Apache. This was causing the script "ext/standard/tests/file/bug22414.phpt" to fail when I attempted to run "make test" after building PHP 5.2.5 on RHEL3. I have created a simplified script for this report to demonstrate the problem, though I will note that I can also reproduce it reliably with "bug22414.phpt". I should mention that I also tried my test script from the command line in Mac OS X 10.5 running PHP 5.2.5 and Ubuntu 7.10 running PHP 5.2.3 and it worked correctly in both cases. So, my suspicion is that there is an older library on RHEL3 which is causing the parsing the be incorrect. It passes all the requirements checks made by './configure', though. I ran the test code below using the '-n' option to PHP so as to eliminate my "php.ini" as the problem. Reproduce code: --------------- header("Content-Type: text/plain"); $textEscaped = escapeshellarg("Tim's Test"); print("Before: {$textEscaped}\n"); print("After: "); passthru("/bin/echo {$textEscaped}"); Expected result: ---------------- Before: 'Tim'\''s Test' After: Tim's Test Actual result: -------------- Before: 'Tim'\''s Test' After: Tim\s Test' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44801&edit=1
