Hi,

Could someone fix phpize to make it return 0 on success?  It always
returns -1 when opened via `proc_open()`, which is exceedingly annoying
when you're trying to use it in a PHP script.

Thanks,
Greg

The bottom of phpize does return 0 and should be reached when all
works OK.  I looked into a similar problem a while back.

Are you seeing a signal handling issue like http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=8992 ?
I still see `pclose()` return failure when I use --enable-sigchild.  See

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the reply.  I realized a few minutes ago that I was checking
the wrong place for the exit code, sorry for the noise.

Thanks,
Greg
