Bug description: exec hangs until program is over
Description:
------------
I'm using PHP on Apache2 (both: Latest Builds)
When starting a Program using "exec()" die PHP-Scripts allways hangs under
Windows, until the started program terminates.
There is no chance to start f.e. notepad.exe in that way, that notepad
runs interaktivly, but PHP continous work.
Notepad is just an example, i want to control (start and stop) some
Windows-Tasks throug PHP.
I tried the latest PHP snapshot-Version as well.
Reproduce code:
---------------
exec('notepad.exe');
exec( "cmd.exe /c c:/windows/notepad.exe 2>nul: >nul:" );
exec( "c:/windows/notepad.exe 2>nul: >nul: &" );
exec( "c:/windows/notepad.exe 2>nul: >nul:" );
Expected result:
----------------
PHP Script should NOT wait for end of notepad
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Script wait's for end of notepad
