Re: [PHP] exec won't pass arg with spaces

[Raul Millan]

You where completely right, thanks so much for this tip.  I didn't try 
the "this\ is\ the\ file" approach, but I'll do it and let you know if 
it worked.

Sample code:

       exec("$imagemagickPath/convert -geometry " .
       "{$thumbnail_width}x{$thumbnail_height} " .
       "$images_dir/$filename $images_dir/tb_$filename");
where filename could be:
/var/www/html/images/SPIN CoreRT1 to EX-JF1  (cw - kpi - KPI Performance
Report(Weekly).png


More quotes! :)

The shell delimits tokens with whitespace, so you'd need to escape that
whitespace, or quote it, like so (untested):
        exec(sprintf('%s/concert -geometry %dx%d "%s/%s" "%s/tb_%s"',
                     $imagemagickPath,
                     $thumbnail_width, $thumbnail_height,
                     $images_dir, $filename,
                     $images_dir, $filename));
Note the extra quotes around the two filepaths.
