[ale] simple PHP question on proc_open

[Jerry Yu]

hi, I installed a wordpress plugin. It did a proc_open for a command of
/usr/bin/convert. It always complains about 'sh: /convert no such file or
directory'.
To test the proc_open call, I wrote this snippet and found proc_open()
somehow stripps the leading path and replaces with '/'.   Running this
following snippet,  it complains about no '/date', no matter I have
/usr/bin/date' or 'date' in the proc_open call.  This is on an up-to-date
Fedora Core 6/i386 with some secure configuration done for PHP.

Here is a snippet
============= j.php =================
<?php

$cmd = 'date';

 $descriptors = array(
         0 => array("pipe", "r"),
         1 => array("pipe", "w"),
         2 => array("file", "php://stderr", "w")
   );
 $process = proc_open('date', $descriptors, $fd_set);
 if (is_resource($process)) {
        print "got it\n";
}  else { print "NO NO"; }
        proc_close ($process);
?>
============= j.php =================
