Description:
------------
Non-string passed in system() call. I was expecting it to spit out an error. I didn't notice until I went to add switches to the command.

Same behaviour with exec().
I expect it to be a language syntax problem.

Just incase you're missed it, theres no "" '' `` or $ on the front or around the first argument.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<? echo "<br>::".system(quota)."::<br>"; ?>

Expected result:
----------------
a warning/error, argument is invalid

Actual result:
--------------
Disk quotas for user wargames (uid 1009): Filesystem usage quota limit grace files quota limit grace /usr 55580 102400 102400 1167 0 0 
:: /usr 55580 102400 102400 1167 0 0::

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Turn up your error reporting level to E_ALL and you'll see the notice.
