Exec(), System()

[Anon]

Every time I try to run the following script:

<?
print exec("dir/w");
?>

I get a warning:

Unable to fork [dir/w] in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.php on line 2

No matter what command I use, the same error occurrs.

Do those functions work under Windows 2000 and IIS 5?

Exec, system, and the like will only work on NT, IIS 4 if you set php to run as a cgi. Otherwise you get a forking error.
