<?php
    print `echo hello world`;
?>

I have tried exec, backticks, system, passthru, and they all do not work.  When running the CGI version, there is no message displayed.  When running the isapi version, I get the error message "Warning: Unable to fork [echo hello world] in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\horus.atlantic.net\test.php on line 3".  It seems that this has been going on for a while now.  "CreateProcess" is a very simple Windows API call.  If PHP is going to beat ASP, this needs to be resolved.

"echo" is not a command under windows, rather something built into the shell (cmd.exe). Hence the error message is correct - you can't run a command that doesn't exist. You should use something like "cmd /c echo hello world".

I'll do us both a favour and ignore your other comments

This is fixed in CVS. Wait for PHP 4.0.6 to be released.
