PHP 4.0 Bug #7380 Updated: the function passthru is bad!!!!!!!!

ID: 7380 User Update by: jorge@e-nexus.com.mx Status: Feedback Bug Type: Output Control Description: the function passthru is bad!!!!!!!! Hi. I believe that I don't explain to me well, I want to send an image to the navigator, my code in php works well if thefile that I want to show doesn't have any space for example in the name (cat.gif), but if the name of the image has a space (cat image.gif) the command doesn't make anything. Example. The following code converts an image using ImageMagic, the result is sent to output standar This code don't work <? Header("Content-type: image/gif"); passthru("convert -scale 100x100 cat image.gif gif:-"); ?> This code work fine <? Header("Content-type: image/gif"); passthru("convert -scale 100x100 cat_image.gif gif:-"); ?> Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-21 18:46:00] lyric@php.net This might be a dumb question, but you do know that you can't just "cat foo.gif" in the middle of a HTML file and expect it to produce an inline image, right? I've got two ideas: a) unless you change it, the content-type of the results from a php program is "text/html". Try adding Header("Content-type: image/gif"); to the start of your PHP file b) the webserver hasn't got enough permissions to see the graphic? Try copying it to the same place as your php file, and typing "chmod 444 file.gif" to make it world-readable. The following code works perfectly for me: <?php Header("Content-type: image/gif"); passthru("cat a.gif"); ?> I suppose there's a reason you're using "cat foo.gif" rather than readfile()? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-21 01:41:25] jorge@e-nexus.com.mx the function don't return anything to the browser, the problem is when i run a program that need to open a file contained a spaces for example $cmd="cat /home/test/test file.gif"; passthru($cmd); If you run this script the document is EMPTY I try the follow comands without results $cmd="cat "/home/test/test file.gif""; $cmd="cat /home/test/test file.gif"; Please help me --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7380
