[PHP] =?iso-8859-1?Q?Program_execution_functions_doesn=B4t_work_in_my_system?=

In the PHP manual there are some program execution functions like passthru(), exec() and system().

I´ve got PHP4 installed on IIS 5.0 on Windows 2000 Server, and it works fine.

I tried with a very simple script like the following:

<?
$commandstring = "cmd";
passthru($commandstring);
?>

But it doesn´t work. You can see this warning in the explorer:

Warning: Unable to fork [cmd] in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\nntpadm\creategroup.php on line 3

I need to run some external programs from a PHP script.

How could I do that?

Thanks in advance.
