Hi
Could someone tell me how to execute a linux shell command with PHP? I am
using PHP as a bash script and want to issue the command;
convert -sample 25%x25% $img thumb.$img
It is just a simple script to convert jpg's into thumbnails and I am more
at home with PHP than bash...
Thanks
Steve

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php
eg. exec("convert -sample 25%x25% $img thumb.$img");
But these functions are often disabled on public servers and you should
also be aware that the command might be executed by the user running the
web server (running PHP as CGI or with suexec wrapper is the cure for this).

I have CGI installed in my PHP, how would I go about executing a command
from within there? Could you elaborate please?
Thanks
