Description:
------------
Judging by some limited experience and the user notes, it appears that the meaning of the return value from pclose() depends on whether php is installed as an Apache module or run as CGI.  In the former case, it seems to return the actual exit code, while in the later it seems to return the system status value which has to be pulled apart with pctl functions.

If this is right, the documentation should reflect it.  If not, the user comments indicate considerable confusion on the subject, with contradictory claims.  A clarification seems necessary.

Ill take this one, seems like the source of pclose() tells that theres a difference between Windows and other systems in the value thats returned. Plus the "error" return value is not documented either.

# The same applies to proc_close() as they both use the same
# internal exit logic

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
