[PHP] Re: Converting PCX to ...
I'm writing a reporting system and I have a problem. I need to insert PCXs into a PDF (using PDFLib), but it doesn't support PCXs. So, to get round the problem, I need to convert the PCXs to JPGs or GIFs Does anyone know of a piece of PHP that can do this inline, (by that I mean, can be called and run in PHP script), because the images will have additions and modifications on a regular basis; and they come as PCXs. I think you will be stuck with using http://php.net/exec to run some external process to convert them.

[PHP] Re: Converting PCX to ...
I got a problem with that! I've written a batch file that sits in the same dir as the PHP script and when I exec it, it doesn't work! I've thouroghly thrashed the batch file for errors and it came up ok every time. if I echo the exec it only returns the first line of the batch file. Anyone?

[/snip] I have found that even though the batch, shell, or other procedural call in an exec(), system(), sits in the same directory as the PHP script you must include the /full/path/to/the/script in order for it to work properly.
