Hi,

I tried to use PHP in connection with shellprogramming.

I would be fine if you could return exit codes to shellscripts. So that you can use something like "if [ $? -eq 0 ]" to test if the PHP-Script had run succesful.

So wouldn`t need to use Perl in future.

just use exit(number)
it returns the exit code (and also prints the value). The printing will be removed in PHP5 (if it is a number).

Sorry,
I just tried your suggestion under Linux and it works.

But under Windows2000 with the mks-Toolkit and there it dosn't work.
Thnx
Bernd
