I'm calling ps_exec. $handle = popen($cmd); $read = fread($handle, 2096); echo $read; pclose($handle); Does nothing whereas system($cmd) or shel_exec($cmd) works fine, apart from the output. $read outputs nothing when I tested it. When calling popen, can you pass program parameters such as "dir *.tmp /p" ? Maybe this is why it's not working. The $cmd I call has rather a lot of command line parameters to go with it. -----Original Message----- From: Svensson, B.A.T.

Since you can use shell_exec() I assume this has nothing to do with safe_mode being switched on. How do you call popen() ands what kind of dos program are you calling? -----Original Message----- From: Paul J.
