Hi everybody,

I have the following setup:
- Windows XP Pro with SP2 and all updates installed
- Apache 2.054
- PHP 4.4.x (not sure if 1 or 2)

My app consists in a html form page which sends its content to a php script.
The php script then runs an external process using exec (or passthru). This
is where the problems start.

This process reads some information stored in the registry. When I run it
directly from the command line, this process works fine and the info gets
retrieved from the registry. When I run it from the php script though, it
fails somewhere in the registry access code, and I'm not sure whether it is
an Apache or php issue.

Could it be that some php (or maybe apache) security settings that are
inherited by my process forbid registry access?

I would really appreciate any ideas that will help me solve this issue.

Thanks,

A
