HTMLDOC

[Anon]

i am having problems executing the following:

<?php

header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
system ("usr/bin/htmldoc -t pdf --webpage $name");
?>

HTMLdoc is a software that allows you to convert html
to pdf. Now i have a link pointing to this mini php
program to generate a pdf. IN this link i pass the
variable $name. What would you guys recommend i do.

Thanks .. I appreciated it/

System will ONLY pass the last line from the command back through to the browser.

see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.system.php

also $name will allow users to hurt your system when used with system, see escapeshellcmd() to make this safe.

passthru(escapeshellcmd("usr/bin/htmldoc -t pdf --webpage $name"));
