Hi, I am running IIS 5 and php 4.2 I will give a lilltle background on what I am trying to do, I am trying to run a program called convert.exe through php. This program will take a jpg and reduce the resolution of the jpg.
The command format the works from the Command Line is: convert -size 10x10 1.jpg 2.jpg This will convert 1.jpg to a resolution of 10x10 and create the 10x10 file called 2.jpg. I tried different ways and none seem to work, some thing I tried are: exec("convert -size 10x10 1.jpg 2.jpg"); shell_exec("convert -size 10x10 1.jpg 2.jpg"); exec("c:\picture.bat"); /with picture.bat containing convert -size 10x10 1.jpg 2.jpg I found on the php.net a sample code of the exec command to display the task list of XP (this only displayed a blank screen in my browser), this code was: <?php $tlist1 = shell_exec("cmd /c tasklist"); $tlist2 = ereg_replace(" "," ",$tlist1); $tlist = nl2br($tlist2); echo "<font face=\"Fixedsys\">\n"; echo $tlist; echo "</font>"; ?> Is there something simple I am missing to run a program through php, any advise is truly appreciated.
