We used to use php 4 on our web server on win2000, and use the system()
to call some DOS programs. That how we call it:
$cmd = "c:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\test.exe";
$last_line = system($cmd, $retval);
print ("<br>\nretval =\"". $retval. "\"<br>\n");
It was working perfectly for years.
However, recently we moved to a win2003 server, and install the php
5.2.3, and now the system() no longer works as expected:
1. It no longer work in the web, the only result returned
to the web browser is "retval =-1";
2. It still works if tested in DOS commandline (use the
command such as "php test.php");
3. Even change the $cmd to "type test.txt" or "dir", the
result is the same: works in DOS prompt window, but
not web browser (received only "retval =-1").
I have checked the permissions on all those files/folders, even tried
giving read/execute permission to "everyone", still no help.
In our configuation, the safe mode is off.
Any clue? Thanks in advance.

Are you sure PHP does actually read the config file?
Check if safe_mode is really off using phpinfo(); like this:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
