Re: exec won't pass arg with spaces

You where completely right, thanks so much for this tip. I didn't try the "this\ is\ the\ file" approach, but I'll do it and let you know if it worked. Raúl Michal Migurski wrote:

Sample code:

       exec("$imagemagickPath/convert -geometry " .
       "{$thumbnail_width}x{$thumbnail_height} " .
       "$images_dir/$filename $images_dir/tb_$filename");

where filename could be: /var/www/html/images/SPIN CoreRT1 to EX-JF1 (cw - kpi - KPI Performance Report(Weekly).png

More quotes! :) The shell delimits tokens with whitespace, so you'd need to escape that whitespace, or quote it, like so (untested): exec(sprintf('%s/concert -geometry %dx%d "%s/%s" "%s/tb_%s"',

	             $imagemagickPath,
	             $thumbnail_width, $thumbnail_height,
	             $images_dir, $filename,
	             $images_dir, $filename));

Note the extra quotes around the two filepaths. --------------------------------------------------------------------- michal migurski- contact info and pgp key:
