exec only returns the FIRST LINE of output -- perhaps winposd (whatever
that is) prints a blank line first?
For that matter, winposd might output to standard error...
Does Windows have that???
If it does, how do you redirect?...
It *MIGHT* be the same as some shells in Linux:
$execstring="winposd.exe \"${physical}-${logical}-${parameter}\" 2&>1";
Or, it might not...
At any rate, USE the extra arguments to exec to get, like, *ALL* the
output, *PLUS* a super special bonus ERROR CODE returned from the
Operating System.
exec($execstring, $output, $error);
if ($error){
echo "OS Error: $error\n";
echo implode("\n", $output);
exit;
}
echo implode("\n", $output);
To bastardize a quote:
If you ignore the errors of the present, you won't even have the
opportunity to repeat them. :-)
