Hello, I am attempting to use the perl script html2ps from a PHP script, I am calling it as such: $x = exec("perl /users/codyc/html2ps/bin/html2ps -o /users/codyc/html/mdvt/pdf/Chump_967070206.ps 'http://xxxxx/mdvt/final_report.php?ciscojobno=967070206'"); To no avail, if I do the same command on the command line, no problem... I have tried using passthru(), system(), exec() and backticks. If I attempt to execute a simple Hello, World PERL script no problem there. It is a not a permissions problem, what can it be? Has anyone been able to use html2ps and pass it a URL? Thanks /Cody Caughlan
