Question

On my php page

I have this exec function converting pdf to swf

exec(‘”C:\\Program
Files\\SWFTools\\pdf2swf.exe”
“C:\\Program
Files\\xampp\\htdocs\\system\\logs\\reports\\temp\\sample.pdf”
-o “C:\\Program Files\\xampp\\htdocs\\system\\logs\\reports\\temp\\sample.swf”
-f -T 9 -t -s storeallcharacters’);

on my localhost it works but whenever I put that function on another server let’s say http://192.168.0.2:8888/system/ it doesn’t convert the pdf at all…

Please help me get through this…

thanks

Ok I already resolved my problem here. for others to know what I’ve done;

here’s my code

// First, I create a new .bat file using fopen

$ourFileName = "C:\\FILE\\PATH\\TO\\sample.bat";
$ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'w') or die("can't open file");

// Then write the content in it with your pdf2swf.exe syntax to convert from PDF to SWF

fwrite($ourFileHandle, '"C:\\Program Files\\SWFTools\\pdf2swf.exe" "C:\\FILE\\PATH\\TO\\sample.pdf" -o "C:\\FILE\\PATH\\TO\\sample.swf" -f -T 9 -t -s storeallcharacters');

// Close the handle
fclose($ourFileHandle);

// After all above executed successfully, we now run the newly created .bat file using PHP exec() function.

exec('"C:\\FILE\\PATH\\TO\\sample.bat"');

I don’t know if there are any other way to do this but this works for me

using Windows Server 2003 with Apache 2 and PHP 5.2
