works fine using apache/php4.0.1pl2/cgi/win2000

Please verify, that it?s still happening using the latest version of PHP (release 4.0.1pl2 or CVS).

Try:
echo `dir`;
echo system('dir');
echo exec('dir');

User reports:

It works fine while using php.exe, doesn't work with dll

Have you tried more recent version of php4 than 4.0.1pl2?
(from cvs or snaps.php.net)

Does the problem still persist?
