exec() has an unfixable flaw: it reads command output LINE-BY-LINE into an array, which:
- Hits memory/buffer limits on large outputs (>1MB typical)
- Silently truncates output without throwing errors or exceptions
- Causes catastrophic failures in compilation, bundling, and error reporting
- Makes debugging impossible (you see partial output with no indication of truncation)
- Makes debugging impossible (partial output with no indication of truncation)
Real-world example from this codebase:
- jqhtml compilation of 220-line template was truncated at row 4 (mid-line)
- jqhtml compilation truncated at row 4 (mid-line) - output was 4KB instead of 35KB
- No error thrown, no indication of failure
- Took hours to diagnose because the truncation was SILENT
- Fixed by replacing exec() with proc_open() - output jumped from 4KB to 35KB
This is why exec() is BANNED across the entire application.";

$resolution = "REQUIRED ACTION - Replace exec() with shell_exec():
QUICKEST FIX (Drop-in replacement - no refactoring needed):
Use \exec_safe() - RSpade framework helper with identical signature to exec():
\exec_safe(\$command, \$output, \$return_var);
Simply replace exec() with \exec_safe(). That's it. No other code changes needed.
Uses proc_open() internally to handle unlimited output without truncation.
Example:
// Before:
exec('git status 2>&1', \$output, \$code);
// After:
\exec_safe('git status 2>&1', \$output, \$code);
Benefits:
- Zero refactoring - maintains exact same signature as exec()
- All existing code continues to work identically
- No silent truncation (uses proc_open() internally)
- Framework helper function available everywhere
FOR ADVANCED USERS (Need full control):
Use proc_open() which streams unlimited output without size limits:
\$descriptors = [
0 => ['pipe', 'r'], // stdin
1 => ['pipe', 'w'], // stdout
2 => ['pipe', 'w'] // stderr
];
\$process = proc_open(\$command, \$descriptors, \$pipes);
if (!is_resource(\$process)) {
throw new \\RuntimeException(\"Failed to execute command\");
}
fclose(\$pipes[0]); // Close stdin
\$output_str = stream_get_contents(\$pipes[1]); // Read all stdout
\$error_str = stream_get_contents(\$pipes[2]); // Read all stderr
fclose(\$pipes[1]);
fclose(\$pipes[2]);
\$return_code = proc_close(\$process);
// Combine stderr with stdout if command failed
if (\$return_code !== 0 && !empty(\$error_str)) {
\$output_str = \$error_str . \"\\n\" . \$output_str;
}
if (\$return_code !== 0) {
throw new \\RuntimeException(\"Command failed: {\$output_str}\");
}
Benefits:
- Streams unlimited output (no size limits)
- Separate stdout/stderr streams
- Proper return code validation
- No silent truncation
FOR SIMPLE CASES (Don't need return code):
Use shell_exec() for commands where you only need output:
\$output = shell_exec(\$command);
BASIC USAGE (don't need return code):
\$output = shell_exec(\$command . ' 2>&1');
if (\$output === null) {
throw new \\RuntimeException(\"Command failed\");
throw new \\RuntimeException('Command failed');
}
Benefits:
- Simple one-line replacement
- Returns entire output as string (no line-by-line buffering)
- No silent truncation
- Drawback: Cannot get return code (assumes success if output is not null)
ADVANCED USAGE (need return code):
Use the echo \$? trick to capture exit code:
RATIONALE:
exec() was designed for simple command execution in the early PHP days. Modern PHP
applications with large compilation outputs, bundling systems, and complex toolchains
need proper stream handling. Both proc_open() and shell_exec() handle
unlimited output correctly - exec() does not.
\$full_command = \"(\$command) 2>&1; echo \$?\";
\$result = shell_exec(\$full_command);
NEVER use exec() for:
- Compilation outputs (esbuild, webpack, babel, jqhtml)
- Bundler commands
- Any command with potentially large output (>100 lines)
- Commands where you need to see complete error messages";
// Last line is the exit code
\$lines = explode(\"\\n\", trim(\$result));
\$return_code = (int)array_pop(\$lines);
\$output = implode(\"\\n\", \$lines);
if (\$return_code !== 0) {
throw new \\RuntimeException(\"Command failed: \$output\");
}
WHY THIS WORKS:
- shell_exec() returns ALL output as a string (no line-by-line buffering)
- No size limits, no truncation, no pipe buffer issues
- Simple and reliable
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Do NOT use proc_open() - it's also banned (see PHP-PROC-01)
- Do NOT try to use exec() with file redirection - just use shell_exec()
- shell_exec() is the ONLY approved way to execute shell commands";

When using proc_open() with fread(), you MUST use this specific loop pattern:
while (!feof(\$pipes[1])) { ... }
After 10+ attempts to fix pipe buffer truncation bugs, proc_open() is now completely banned.
ANY other pattern causes silent 8192-byte truncation:
- stream_get_contents() - truncates at 8KB
- Checking feof() AFTER empty reads - race condition truncation
- Custom loop conditions - unpredictable behavior
WHY THIS IS BANNED:
- Unfixable race conditions with feof() cause silent data loss on large outputs (35KB+)
- Even 'correct' patterns using while (!feof(\$pipes[...])) still have race conditions
- We never need asynchronous operations - all our use cases are synchronous
Real-world incident from production environment:
- File: JqhtmlWebpackCompiler.php
- Symptom: Compiled jqhtml output truncated at exactly 8,217 bytes (8192 + 25)
- Root cause: feof() checked AFTER empty read instead of as loop condition
- Impact: JavaScript syntax errors from mid-statement truncation
REAL-WORLD INCIDENTS:
1. JqhtmlWebpackCompiler.php - Compiled template truncated at 8KB, breaking JavaScript
2. Multiple attempts to fix with different buffering strategies all failed
3. Pattern matches known PHP bug reports going back years
The while (!feof()) pattern is the ONLY battle-tested, safe approach from PHP manual
and Stack Overflow consensus. No exceptions, no alternatives.";
THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM:
- Child process writes to pipe
- Parent checks feof() but pipe hasn't been marked EOF yet
- fread() returns empty string
- Loop continues, feof() now returns true prematurely
- Remaining data silently lost

WHY THIS WORKS:
- feof() as loop condition prevents ALL truncation bugs
- No race conditions from checking feof() after empty reads
- No buffer limits from stream_get_contents()
- Standard PHP idiom from manual and Stack Overflow
- Battle-tested across the codebase
- OS guarantees file writes are complete before exec() returns
- No pipes, no race conditions, no truncation
- How webpack, rollup, and other build tools handle large outputs
- Simple, reliable, debuggable
ALTERNATIVE: Use \\exec_safe() helper
If executing shell commands, \\exec_safe() has this pattern built-in.";
OPTION 2: shell_exec() (for smaller outputs < 1MB)
\$output = shell_exec(\$command . ' 2>&1');
if (\$output === null) {
throw new RuntimeException('Command execution failed');
}
WHY THIS WORKS:
- PHP's shell_exec() uses different buffering mechanism
- No manual pipe handling, no feof() race conditions
- Specifically designed for capturing full command output
OPTION 3: exec() with output array (line-oriented output)
exec(\$command, \$output_lines, \$return_code);
\$output = implode(\"\\n\", \$output_lines);
WHY THIS WORKS:
- Reliable for line-oriented output
- No pipe buffer issues
- Simpler than proc_open()
DO NOT attempt to 'fix' proc_open() with better buffering strategies.
We've tried that 10+ times. It doesn't work. Use the alternatives above.";
