What happens if you run this:

PHP Code:

$ffmpeg        = FCPATH . 'assets/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg';
$videoFiles    = FCPATH . 'assets/chat_posts/sample.mp4';
$imageFile     = "public_html/wannahelp/assets/chat_posts/siva.jpg";
$size          = "120X90";
$getFromSecond = 5;

$disabled_funcs = explode( ',', ini_get('disable_functions') );
if( ! in_array( 'exec', $disabled_funcs ) )
{
    try{
        $cmd = "$ffmpeg -i $videoFiles -an -ss $getFromSecond -s $size $imageFile";

        exec( $cmd, $output, $return_var );

        var_dump( $output );

        var_dump( $return_var );
    }
    catch( Exception $e ){
        $s = 'caught exception: ' . $e->getMessage();
    }
}
else
{
    $s = 'exec not available: not created';
}

The exec() function falls into the same category as the shell_exec() (and passthru(),system() are all very similar) functions where you asked about a few days ago. Those functions should to be disabled for security reasons in a shared hosting environment.

Long story short, if you need/want such a function you would have to reach into your pockets and get a VPS which so you have full controll over all the server settigns and enable such a function in the servers php.ini file.

exec function is enabled in my server

You could prove exec function enabled:

Code:

echo exec('ls');

If truly enabled, I don't know why you are having problems. Sorry.

I am Getting This Output

So, maybe the exec user does not have permissions that are adequate for creating images in the target directory. Try to run this:

Code:

echo exec('whoami');

This will let you know the user and then compare that user to the directory permissions where the image is to be created. That's all I can think would be holding you back.

How did you upload ffmpeg file? If you just ftp'ed you have to change permissions on it to allow executing.
