unfortunately this is a production system now and i cannot test this at the moment. i was hoping others had stumbled across this problem. my future plans are just to move this entire system to a redhat box.

Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $result = 0; $resultstr = system('echo %PATH%', $result); echo "return value is $result \n"; echo "output string is $resultstr \n"; ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49716&edit=1
