If you assign .php scripts to open with php.exe (for example to run GTK-PHP scripts by double clicking) any scripts with a " " in their path will fail as the arguments will be seperated by php.exe, it works as expected for the version of PHP provided by the PHP-GTK packages (claims to be 4.3.0)

Most likely not a bug, instead of using this: php.exe %s as mapping, use php.exe "%s".

Not really a bug -> bogus
 [2002-11-30 07:40 UTC] laptop006 at chriskaine dot com dot au 
Tested and it still fails new mapping for 'execute' '"c:\program files\php4\php.exe" "%s"'
 [2002-11-30 07:46 UTC] derick@php.net 
reopening then.
What exact error do you get?
 [2002-11-30 07:56 UTC] laptop006 at chriskaine dot com dot au 
With just the default mapping generated by windows I get "Could not open input file: C:\Program" and with the "%s" on the end I get "Could not open input file:1"

Reproduced under win98 (VMWare).
It works just fine under XP.
Curiously, sometimes php would actually hang.
Running from the command line always worked just fine.

It needs someone with a dev environment under 98 to investigate; send me the call stack that causes the error
and I will help fix it.

Win98 problem, not a PHP problem.
