Re: [PHP] GNU/Linux & MacOsX Server different behaviour

[Brent Baisley]

Reading the man page on a Mac it says that you are trying to set the 
system date if you provide a date, which you need to be root to be able 
to do. If you just run your command in the shell, you'll see that you 
get an operation not permitted error. Using the -r switch you can 
provide the seconds since Epoch to just display a 'date' you specify.
For instance:
date -r 978400000 +%a
Returns 'Mon'

Check the shells you are running, the Mac defaults to bash under 10.3. 
You can always switch the default shell to get different behavior.

Hi,
I've an Apple G5 Xserve with MacOsX server 10.3 (Darwin 7.3.1)
and PHP 4.3.2 and I need to run a PHP script containing this line:
Linux:  $temp=shell_exec("date 01/01/2004 +%a");
Mac: $temp=shell_exec("date 010104 +%a");
(man date says me how to write correctly date string in both cases)
On Linux result is correct (e.g.'Mon'), on Mac output is empty.
Is it a PHP problem, a php.ini lack (on Mac) or a permissions
problem? Or anything else?
Regards, thanks!
Ciao
Francesco
