Hi,

I'm making some progress with ffmpeg but need some help working out why i cant run the same code using php as when i run in ssh.

Here is the php:

PHP Code:


			
$dir_root = "../../var/www/html/uploads/media/";

$temp_new = substr($o_newname, 0, strripos($o_newname, '.'));



$output = exec ("ffmpeg -i ".$dir_root.'o_'.$o_newname." -s qvga -y ".$dir_root.'n_'.$temp_new.".flv");

echo($output);

its a bit of a mess but its basically getting the input video, setting the size to 320x240 (qvga) and then outputting it as a .flv. When i use that output in ssh it works fine but when i run the above script it doesnt seem to do anything.

ffmpeg is located: /usr/bin/ffmpeg
website is location: /var/www/html/

Here is an example of what i paste into ssh:

Code:

ffmpeg -i ../../var/www/html/uploads/media/o_l2mWwMYOmDhuieDpNnb.avi -s qvga -y ../../var/www/html/uploads/media/n_l2mWwMYOmDhuieDpNnb.flv

is there any way to get some error checking in there or get an output back from the exec/ffmpeg command?

Regards,
Michael
