When trying to use the 'passthru' function from a new install of PHP4.0.2, I get this error.

Warning:  Unable to fork [dir] in D:\FolderName\public_html\dir.php on line 3

Here is some example code:

1. <pre>
2. <?
3.  passthru("dir");
4. ?>
5. </pre>

If I use PHP3 (same machine) to run this file, it works OK.

If you are running it under IIS then this is known behaviour and due to a problem with ISAPI modules. If you are using CGI module then please update and try again. Reopen this report if it still happens.
