Re: executing a java app from a php script

It could be a problem with access to execute Java. If the user running the process (under a web server) is without rights to execute this will not work. You can try running the script with CLI from the command line or you can take a look at the java extension for PHP (www.php.net/java). - Frank > Hi, > > I'm trying to do a bit of java execution as part of a php routine and the > following just doesn't work: > > <?php > $cover = "c:\\javatest\\44438.pdf"; > $cover_fin = "c:\\javatest\\44438_fin.pdf"; > $cover_enc = "c:\\javatest\\44438_enc.pdf"; > $docname = "c:\\javatest\\Lovejoy1.pdf"; > > $cmd = "java -cp C:\\j2sdk1.4.2_04\\jre\\lib\\itext.jar > com.lowagie.tools.concat_pdf ".$cover."
