UNIX Channel 3 is a non-standard stream resource, though I don't
believe it's even yet been given a name, so we'll have to change that.
Let's call it STDOPT, because it's pretty much a STandarD OPTion that
you have available to use for your own desires (depending on the
distro and some other variables, you may not have STDOPT by default,
so as someone used to always sign their signature here, "YMMV.")

The same as you would in accessing channels 0, 1, and 2. The
simplest way is to redirect STDOPT to STDOUT to view it on the screen:
<?php
exec('./someCommand argument1 argument2 etc 3>&1',$ret,$err);
print_r($ret); // Now contains a combination of STDOUT && STDOPT
print_r($err); // Still just STDERR.
?>
Or you redirect STDOPT output to a file:
<?php
exec('./someCommand argument1 argument2 etc 3>stdopt.txt',$ret,$err);
print_r($ret); // STDOUT (Channel 1)
print_r($err); // STDERR (Channel 2)
echo file_get_contents('stdopt.txt'); // STDOPT (Channel 3)
?>

Make sure you have 'udev' installed on there, and also be sure
that /dev/fd exists, and /dev/fd/3 exists. Also make sure that, when
you're checking it, STDERR isn't already being redirected somewhere
else, and that you're not missing some "bad file descriptor" errors in
the mix.
