Thank you for your reply ... I must admit that your example does work. And I'm sorry, because even my own example works as one would expect. I didn't try it myself, because I assumed that it would NOT work. I'm using pretty much the same code in a larger application where it definately does NOT work. In that application I'm working a lot with 'exec()' and 'system()' and also using IO redirections. It might have to do with that, but I have not yet been able to isolate the real cause from within a smaller context. So for now I'd say that you can close the issue. As soon as I know where the problem comes from, and it has to do with PHP, I'd happily re-open this issue if you don't mind. Again, I'm really sorry that I wasted your time just because I made big mistake. PHP-CLI is somewhat cool and I hope it will replace Perl some day, on Unix-like OS. Thanks for making it... - Volker Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-01-29 16:12:55] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Works fine for me: # php t.php ; echo $? 222 t.php: <?php exit(222); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-01-28 05:24:46] volker at puttrich dot net Description: ------------ The CLI version of PHP does not return the integer exit status to the shell when using 'exit(integer);' from within the script. PHP will always return 0 (or 255 probably). The manual says that it would do. Calling 'exit("string");' (with a string as parameter) it works as expected and as mentioned in the manual. Reproduce code: --------------- This is what I'm trying to do: file1.php --------- <? system("php ./file2.php", $rv); fwrite(STDOUT, $rv."\n"); system("php ./file2.php -- -param", $rv); fwrite(STDOUT, $rv."\n"); ?> file2.php --------- <? if($argc < 2) exit(1); else exit(0); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Execute: # php ./file1.php Output should be: 1 0 Actual result: -------------- Buggy result is: 0 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36187&edit=1
