I cannot have output of executed programs from functions like passthru or exec. The same script runs well on Linux php (it is version 3.0 on Linux).
I tried on Windows something like 

passthru("command /c dir");

and on Linux

passthru("/bin/ls");

On windows ME I'm using the CGI version of PHP, on PWS, on 2000 I 'm using the CGI version with IIS. On Linux, I don't know exactly what's going on, I know only that it runs Apache. With passthru the CGI execution takes TOO MUCH time, and with exec it doesn't fill the return array with the output.

Can you try the latest CVS? (Windows builds at http://php-dev-win.dhs.org/, source at snaps.php.net or via CVS)
Using PHP 4.0.6 on Windows probably won't work; there were many problems with exec-alike functions on 4.0.6 which are fixed in the latest CVS.

And if it still doesn't work, can you provide a sample script?

No feedback. Closing.
