 New Comment:

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.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows (zip):
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip

For Windows (installer):

  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-installer-latest.msi

This looks has been fixed. Works fine for me using 5.2.6-RC4.

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'
