[RESOLVED] Can't get exec() command to work

[rsmith]

Hey all, here's my code:

if(isset($path)){
		        	if(is_writable($path)){
			        	exec("/usr/bin/convert $path -resize 210x158! $path");
			        	header("Location: ".$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']."");
		        	}else{
			        	echo "Unable to resize photo.";
			        }
		        }

It just will not work. It seems like it tries to resize because I get instantly redirected but the photo is still the same size. Any help is greatly appreciated... I'm trying to call the ImageMagick function "convert" from it's installed location.

Does the web service user have permission to execute that program?

Yes. The hosting company is GoDaddy and they make the ImageMagick libraries available by default to all Linux-hosted accounts.

I got it.

exec("/usr/bin/convert '".$path."' -resize 210x158! '".$path."'");
