I experience the same problem with PHP 4.3.2 under Windows XP Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-12 06:38:43] bhart at insydesw dot com Oops, obviously that should be PWS 4.0, not PSW 4.0. Sorry, -- Bob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-12 06:37:14] bhart at insydesw dot com Hi, I have downloaded PHP 4.3.1 and loaded it under Win98SE with PSW 4.0. I see the already reported problems of not being able to do anything after the system() or exec() calls. These calls seem to execute ok, but control is never returned to the PHP script, so the remote (client) hangs. I can Stop PSW, restart it, and get one more try to run the PHP file (from the remote client), after that I have to down Win98SE and start all over. I tried various things and none ever showed me any execution after the system() or exec() calls. system() does display data, but nothing from the PHP scripts after the call.

I attempted to start a console process from PHP and return with a success message. I have experiemented with several possible solutions purposed under the exec() command reference including putting a "start" in the DOS command and redirecting the output to NUL. I have also attemted to start a C program that itself started the command in a forked process. All result in the exec() command hanging until the console is manually stopped. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
