hello,
as i have explained previously i'm trying to run the batik rastersizer. i've up loaded to my host account all six .jar files in the batik-1.6 directory from the 'binary' download. there are other script files contain deeper within other directories within this download. do i need to upload these also? now, andreas kindly sent me an example of how batik commands could be sent using php. $command = '/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-sun/bin/java -Xmx512M -jar /home/ username/batik/batik-rasterizer.jar -d /home/username/temp/ somename.pdf -m application/pdf -onload somename.svg'; $command = escapeshellcmd($command); $result = exec($command,$output,$retval); ok i think i am clear with this apart from the last line. i understand exec executes an external program, but where is $output and $retval coming from? i don't know php hardly at all, but i had guessed the java command would be sent with the POST method. i found a svg to png online converter that used <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" .. > to send a command to batik. i read this has limited browser support, being limited to netscape, but it worked fine in ie7. would anyone recommend this method. i'm having problems raising my host support. they are usually very fast to reply but not today. i wondered if there is a way to check if a java runtime environment is installed on my host server? and if so how to detect its path. sorry to be such a novice, harvey [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
