Ohhh okay. Well if you mean to do this, $szPipe = popen(`/htdocs/gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=/htdocs/merged.pdf /htdocs/Sep08-113518.pdf /htdocs/Sep08-113523.pdf`, "r");. This does not seem change anything. If I do this with the system() example, I get "Warning: system(): Cannot execute a blank command in /htdocs/index.php on line 14". -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
