PHP exec upsetting get_file_conten ts

9 New Member
Hi
I'm running with PHP5 on WAMP & have come across a problem. I use the following php script to respond to an <image src="this.php?s ource=xxx">
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  // get $source & $res 
  2.     $command = "convert -geometry $res $source gim29.gif";
  3.     exec($command);
  4.     if (file_exists("gim29.gif")) {
  5.         if($img     = @file_get_contents("gim29.gif")) {
  6.                                   header("Content-type: \"image/gif\"");
  7.                                   print $img;
  8.                                 }
  9.                 }
  10.  
This fails - I do not get the image to my browser. Inspecting file gim29.gif shows it to be good - convert did the job. In fact - if I comment out the exec all works well! Also if I substitute the "convert... ." with "ls -l" it still fails !!!

{/CODE]

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <?php
  2.     $command="dir";
  3.     exec($command);
  4.     $img=file_get_contents("gim29.gif");
  5.     header("Content-type: \"image/gif\"");
  6.     print $img;
  7.     exit ();
  8. ?>

Comment out the exec() & all's well
