Do not trust the proc-Functions in PHP to get any process results. The
did not work reliable for this in PHP 7.4 and in 8.0/8.1 I never got any
useful result from proc_close().

If you really need to be sure to get the return code of the command you
called, wrap the call in a shell command and use the result from the
wrapper, like this:

<?php
$command = 'some-command-to-execute';

$descriptors = [
	0 => ['pipe', 'r'],   // stdin
	1 => ['pipe', 'w'],   // stdout
	2 => ['pipe', 'w'],   // stderr
	3 => ['pipe', 'w'],   // file descriptor for exit code
];
$process = proc_open($command.'; echo $? >&3', $descriptors, $pipes);
if (is_resource($process)) {
	while ($output = fgets($pipes[1])) {
		$shellOutput .= $output;
	}
}
if (!feof($pipes[3])) {
	$shellResult = (int) rtrim(fgets($pipes[3], 5), "\n");
}
fclose($pipes[3]);
proc_close($process);

// $shellOutput will contain the output of stdout
// $shellResult will not contain the return code
