error log from exec? - richb201 - 07-14-2020
I am running this line in my controller where I am converting a pdf to an png.
exec('soffice --convert-to png {$file_uploaded} --outdir {$file_image}'); //convert to image
It is not working but I don't know why? Is there a place where error message from exec are logged?

You can pass a 2nd and 3rd argument to the exec function. The 2nd argument must be an array and the 3rd must be an integer.
PHP Code:
$output = [];
$return = -1;
exec('soffice --convert-to-png {$file_uploaded} --outdir {$file_image}', $output, $return);
// print the output
print_r($output);
// is this an error?
echo $return; // if 1, then error; 0 if successful

Thanks. I managed to get this going. The only issue I have now is that if I am converting a large pdf (for example 20M) it takes a while. I have no problem with this but after 60 seconds (while it is still busy)I get a popup "An error has occurred on uploading.". Is there a timeout setting in php.ini that controls this?

If the script takes some time, maybe you can put a set_time_limit(); at the beginning of the time consuming script. Just pass as argument to set_time_limit your desired number of seconds before the script times out. Passing 0 will give unlimited time.

It is still timing out at 60 seconds.

Can you try editing the max_execution_time ini setting?
