alternatives to popen / proc_open

popen / proc_open seem to be broken (as per PHP Bug #30463). As such,
does anyone know if there are any alternatives to them?

I tried to use fsockopen to load a bunch of instances of a script to
no avail (it doesn't seem to work within a for loop).

Hello I would like to call a unix shellscript from within a PHP script and - write data to its STDIN - read data from its STDOUT *and* STDERR - get its exit code afterwards proc_open seems to be the right thing to use but I have the problem that the called program gives >8kb data on both stdout/stderr back which causes my PHP script to simply hang in the fread call. To be precise the first 4096 "O" characters are read and displayed. ...

Howdy, For a script I need the exact output of the apache htdbm.exe to a var so I can extract all users from a database. Now I found out that this can be done with Proc_open.

Hi, I've written something that takes text and passes it to gpg to encrypt. It works great except when the text size is greater than 64k at which point PHP/Apache hangs. Is there any way around this? Below is a code snippet (which may or may not help). Thanks, -r

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
