I am using windows2000 with IIS50
and I am not able to get at output with the
following commands:
system
exec

the command gets executed p? there are no output...
<?
system("ping www.hotbot.com");
?>

I have installed PHP as an CGI but has also tried it with
php4isapi.dll
same problem.

I have tried different versions og PHP4 same problem...
I have tried to change the rights of the IIS user same problem.
I have tried to execute it at the command prompt i works output and all....

The command get executed but NO output.

Kind regards Gert Jensen

from the manual:

exec() executes the given command, however it does not output anything. 

Returns the last line of the command output on success, and false on failure. 
If you need to execute a command and have all the data from the command passed directly back without any interference, use the PassThru() function. 

both of these functions work on my machine (NT5, Apache 1.3.15-dev, php4-200101080345), if they fail on IIS, reopen.
