I can't reproduce it with php6 neither with 5.3 or 5.2 in CLI or FCGI. Can you try it with CLI/CGI too please? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-22 05:18:15] ian at iglou dot com Also broken in PHP Version 5.2.10; safe mode off. An earlier version (no record of which) did work when used thus to get a Windows dvd volume label: if (preg_match('#Volume in drive [a-zA-Z]* is (.*)\n#i', shell_exec('dir '.$drive.':'), $m)) { $volname = ' ('.$m[1].')'; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-06 00:49:59] elmue at gmx dot de Description: ------------ On PHP 6 VC 6 from 3.sept.2009 the shell_exec command is broken. Tested on Xampp on Windows XP with Apache 2.2.9. Whatever you put into shell_exec e.g. shell_exec("dir C:\\") produces a Warning shell_exec() [function.shell-exec]: Unable to execute 'dir c:\' The same script works fine on PHP 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49478&edit=1
