ZipArchive and Shell Exec are not enabled on this server

[Sanchez C-131]

Hello,

I've just upgraded to XAMPP 8.2.0 and now I get an error message when I want to run a script.

ZipArchive and Shell Exec are not enabled on this server

Indicating that SHELL EXEC is not enabled in the PHP running with this version of XAMPP.

However, when I inspect the php.ini file, no functions are disabled at disable_functions. So shell_exec should not be disabled.

I also tried the solution given in this Stackoverflow article: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12757891/enable-shell-exec-in-wamp-server

but that doesn't work either.

I never had this problem with the previous version I was running.

Does anyone perhaps have an idea on how I can solve this problem?

Hi,

I have checked shell_exec on my Windows 11 XAMPP 8.2.0 test environment.
It is working flawlessly.

Code

Code: Select all

<?php

$var = shell_exec("cd");
var_dump($var);

Execution result

Code: Select all

string(16) "C:\xampp\htdocs "

Maybe it is a problem with your third party script not checking correctly.
