I want to send ffmpeg output to a php file so I can use

  • 0

I want to send ffmpeg output to a php file so I can use a regex and update the output into a database. This will allow me to handle progress for multiple uploads. Does anyone know how to do this? Can it be done? Currently I can execute a php file with parameters after the ffmpeg command, and get ffmpeg to write to a txt file but can I send the output to the php file and execute it?

execute php file with parameters

&& php /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/site/update_db.php ".$parameter1." ".$parameter2.";

Write output to txt file

ffmpeg command and filepath to converted  1> /home/g/Desktop/output.txt 2>&1

Can something like this be done?

ffmpeg command and filepath to converted   1> php /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/site/update_db.php ".$output." 2>&1

    Yes, you can read STDIN.

    If it were me, I’d just execute FFMPEG from within PHP. You have a bit more flexibility that way, but I know that isn’t desirable for every application.
