I have a php script which i use to pull the svn version number (fyi: accepted answer here: How can I get the svn revision number in PHP? is incorrect).
i first run:
exec('svn info | grep URL', $y);
to get the url of the repo, and then run:
exec('svn info ' . $url . ' | grep Revision', $z);
to get the revision of the latest in repo.
the first command runs fine; but the 2nd hangs in Windows. I am pretty sure this used to work; any ideas why adding the url to the svn command fails in Windows PHP exec call?
