[ramadha]

Hi every one,

my server have installed ffmpeg, and it's working fine on terminal( ffmpeg -i source_file.wmv myflash.flv)
problem is that it's not working through my php file
my code is;

<?php
exec("ffmpeg -i /var/www/vhosts/httpdocs/sample3/files/test/Mouse_trap.wmv /var/www/vhosts/httpdocs/sample3/files/test/test2.flv");
?>

when i run this code, nothing will happen,even don't give error message also.

no problem with the path or permission,conversion work fine in terminal with this path

please help me to come out this problem, is there anything to change in php.ini or somewhere??

my server is Linux and OS is Fedora core 6,Apache/2.2.3 (Fedora),PHP Version 5.2.6

regards,
ramadha

You should be checking for an error condition. Try this?

<?php

$command_output = array();
$result = NULL;
exec("ffmpeg -i /var/www/vhosts/httpdocs/sample3/files/test/Mouse_trap.wmv /var/www/vhosts/httpdocs/sample3/files/test/test2.flv", $command_output, $resul$

if ($result !== 0) {
    echo 'Command failed!<br>';
    print_r($command_output);
    die();
}

echo 'success!';
print_r($command_output);
?>
