Description: ------------ If i exec the follow code $lbRet = exec("\\bin\\zip.exe /zipfolder",$laOutput,$liRet); over a webinterface (Windows XP, IIS 5.0, PHP-ISAPI-Module) i get an error like "unable to fork ...". After reading the php-documentation and bug-database i tried to exec the following code with the same result: $lbReturn = exec("cmd /c ..\\bin\\zip.exe tmp/zipfolder",$laOutput,$liReturn); The IUSR_ has the correct rights for executing and reading the both files (cmd and zip). -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29001&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29001&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29001&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29001&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29001&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29001&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29001&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29001&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29001&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29001&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29001&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29001&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29001&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29001&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29001&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29001&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29001&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29001&r=float
