that program is
<?php
$command='ooffice -invisible "macro:///Standard.Module4.Main()"';
print system($command);
echo"successfully converted";
?>
the above program is run in terminal....
[root@localhost html] php t.php
successfully run
But doesnot run in browzer...
why apache server doesnot support this program..

Hi,

I guess the PATH variable isn't the same for your shell and for apache, or some other env. variable is missing. Try to run the ooffice command with full path:

$command='/full/path/to/ooffice -invisible "macro:///Standard.Module4.Main()"';

If this doesn't work either, run a "set" command :

$command='set >/tmp/apache.env.txt';

and compare the output this is giving when run from shell and from apache, respectively.

Regards,

Bernd
