Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Program Execution
Operating System: Linux (Debian) / Solaris 8
PHP Version: 4.1.0
New Comment:
I tried it, but with PHP I got an empty output from the system-call,
which is the same with wrong parameters for the whois-function. I tried
exactly the same script you posted. There is no difference from my
experience.
May there be a difference with Solaris/Debian/PHP4.1 and your setup?
Please try "Dirk Janssen" in the whois-query, which returns a valid
denic-result, BUT ONLY if you have a registered host for this query.
I think it's a PHP-Bug, caus the call in the shell returns the right
result.
Greetings,
Oliver.

you have to use double \\ to pass a \
to the executing shell as \ is the php
escape character, too

I don't get anything weird on PHP 4.2.0-dev with this
script:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
exec('whois -h whois.denic.de "Penelope Cruz"', $output);
print_r($output);
?>
The above outputs the same thing as running the command at
the prompt. What do you get from the above script?

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
