EXEC

[Igaduma]

Hello All,

I'm facing a problem which I cannot cure...

On the solaris webserver (apache, php, ...) there is a script called "coord_conv" which does a coord conversion.
You can call it using the commandline like this:
coord_conv VAR1 VAR2


VAR1 & VAR2 being here inputted decimal values.
The script then returns 2 converted values for VAR1&VAR2
We would like to use this in a PHP page but according to our developer this is not possible and/or not working.

He calls it with exec('coord_conv, $1 $2) but this seems not to work and just generates "0 0" values.
It seems that the values are not passed on to the coord_conv script because it returns 0 0 as value.
Same behaviour when you just call it from commandline without vars.

Can anybody shine some light on this ?

Thanks!

Any

Exactly how are you invoking coord_conv?

Because

exec('coord_conv, $1 $2)

would nearly certainly cause a parse error in PHP.
