New Comment:
The manual should state this fact. There is no bug to fix as these
functions have worked like this since PHP 3.
You can use ob_start()..passthru()..ob_get_contents() as workaround. Or
you can use glob() or scandir() if you only need to get the filenames..

Description should read, "all white space
is removed FROM THE END OF EACH LINE, rather than just
new line characters".

Description:
------------
Each line in the output array returned as the second
parameter of exec() is trimmed so that all white space
is removed, rather than just new line characters.
I found this issue while trying to use the following
command to find all files in the current directory whose
name ends in a space:
exec("find . -name '* '",$output_array,$status);
However, in $output_array the filenames have been
trimmed so that they no longer end in a space.
Reproduce code:
---------------
exec("find . -name '* '",$output_array,$status);
Expected result:
----------------
array(
"file1 "
"file2 "
);
Actual result:
--------------
array(
"file1"
"file2"
);
