Several months ago I wrote a script to convert sound files that used the exec() function to call a program called "wav2vis.exe". The script worked fine but recently I upgraded to PHP 4.1.1 and now the script crashes my system. I striped out all of the code except the exec line for testing purposes. The test script:
<?
exec ("wav2vis.exe test.wav test.vis");
?>
And this still crashes my system. I thought it might be a problem with the .exe file but I ran the test using 2 other .exe programs and they all crash. Is anyone else having exec() problems with PHP 4.1.1?
my system:
WinME
MS PWS
PHP 4.1.1
