WampServer

Hello,
I need to use shell_exec() but it always returns nothing.
I have checked the php.ini and safemode is not enabled (doesn't exist since php 5.4) and also, shell_exec() is not in disabled functions. exec doesn't work and backticks do not work.
Please help!

Hi jake,

See shell_exec manual page

Specifically the NOTE

Quote

Note:

This function can return NULL both when an error occurs or the program produces no output. It is not possible to detect execution failures using this function. exec() should be used when access to the program exit code is required.

There is definitely output. The program definitely executes.

This is not really the site for assistance with PHP programming. This is now a WAMPServer issue

Try StackOverflow.
