How are you passing your params to shell_exec() ?

I know from personal experience, that shell_exec() requires me to load
command.com to the interpreter, such as:

print shell_exec('cmd version');

This *should* print out your windows version...

Hi,
shell_exec(),as well as exec(),system(), can only handle 'native' DOS
applications like ping,copy,attrib etc.
either directly as a command, or though a *.bat file.

Executing other (DOS) applications like pkzip (for DOS) or (rar for
dos) don't seem to work.
There is a thread of this issue at www.devshed.com
(http://forums.devshed.com/t55038/s.html)

I am using:
-Windows XP
-Apache 1.3.27
-PHP4.3

All with the default configurations.

Kind regards
Patrick
