PHP version: 4.1.0
PHP Bug Type: Program Execution
Bug description: exec()/system() doesn't work with parameters in quotation-marks in
system-call
The exec/system-Functions don't work with calls like this:
whois -h whois.denic.de "Penelope Cruz"
The problem is the string "Penelope Cruz", which has to be one parameter
for the whois-function. Without quotation marks, the string is used as two
parameters - even when they're connected with "\ " -> ("Penelope\ Cruz").
And with quotation marks, PHP executes the command with "Penelope Cruz" as
one string, BUT WITH the quotation marks included.
I tried several other ways (with system(), too), but none of them worked:
exec("whois -h whois.denic.de Penelope\ Cruz");
exec("whois -h whois.denic.de \"Penelope\ Cruz\"");
exec("whois -h whois.denic.de \"Penelope Cruz\"");
exec("whois -h whois.denic.de 'Penelope\ Cruz'");
exec("whois -h whois.denic.de ".'"'."Penelope Cruz".'"'.");
...
My config:
'./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-zlib=/usr'
'--with-curl=/usr/local' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql'
'--with-ldap=/usr/local' '--with-openssl' '--enable-ftp'
The problem was the same with Linux (Debian Potato) and Solaris8
