 $query = "ls";
 //$result = passthru($query);
 $result = system($query);
 echo "<P>result is : $result\n";

launching this script issues immediately on the browser the result of the query, whilst the result-var stays empty....
i see no difference between passthru and system :( 
so is there any way i can get a grip on the result string of a shell-command?

BTW i use 4.0rc1-2
