Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php If you want to recieve the error messages append '2>&1' to the end of the command you are executing. This will work on any *nix based system as well as most recent Win32 server oses such as Windows NT and Windows 2000. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-20 02:50:17] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I installed this version using the old ini file - no errors execpt the one reported. Still, the result of shell_exec is not passed to the variable but displayed on the page with added " Content-type: text/html X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.0-dev " after the error message. In my script i control some nt services and therefor i tell shell_exec to execute net start / net stop. If a service has already been started and i attempt to start it again it returns the error "More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2182." like in DOS Shell on Windows but this error not passed to the variable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-19 19:15:53] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-17 06:41:55] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Running PHP 4.2.3 on Windows 2000 Server shell_exec works fine and passes its output to the variable when the result of the executed command is true. However, if the command fails and the DOS-shell returns an error the result is no longer availiable in the variable but is passed directly to the page. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21065&edit=1
