exec, shell_exec, system, and passthru not working at all

Can't get these commands to work! The following page simply doesn't
finish loading ( Waiting... Opening... :-( )

<?php echo system("dir"); ?>

The same for <?php echo exec("dir"); ?> or <?php echo
shell_exec("dir "); ?>, etc...

I'm running Apache 2.0.55 & PHP 5.0.5 with Zend Optimizer v2.5.10 on
windows XP SP2. Any help is welcome,

TIA,

Bernhard.

PS: I have also tried the windExec() user function sugested in
php.net/manual.

Try the following...
Find the cmd.exe file in your C:\Windows\Syst em32.exe folder.
Right click on the file and select "Sharing and Security" or select
"Properties " and click on the "Security" tab.
Make sure the IUSR and IWAM accounts have "Read & Execute" access. If
not you will have add them.

I am at my wit's end trying to get information out of Streamline.net's support dept about my problem.

I wonder if anyone has experienced something like this, as it seems truly bizarre and is causing me to tear out my hair (what little there is left of it).... The exec() function just suddenly stopped working, for no discernable reason. Here is the code: $execdir = $homedirectory."/".$genename."/".$rundir; // Run the Python script on the Exported text file(s).

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
