exec()

[timmah1]

Following tutorials to upload and convert video files to flv, I'm running into an error

Warning: exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/public_html/uploadvideo.php on line 47

Warning: exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/public_html/uploadvideo.php on line 51

Line 47 is this:

if( $fileExtension == "avi" || $fileExtension == "mpg" || $fileExtension == "mpeg" || $fileExtension == "mov" ) {
//LINE 47 -->exec("ffmpeg -i ".$dynamic_path."/".$moviepath."".$fileName."-sameq -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240 ".$dynamic_path."/".$flvpath."myflv.flv");
}

Line 51 is this:

LINE 51--> exec("ffmpeg -y -i ".$dynamic_path."/".$moviepath."".$fileName."-vframes 1 -ss 00:00:03 -an -vcodec png -f rawvideo -s 110x90 ".$dynamic_path."/".$flvpath."myflv.png");
}

 

Here is the code

<?php
$extension = "ffmpeg";
$extension_soname = $extension . "." . PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX;
$extension_fullname = PHP_EXTENSION_DIR . "/" . $extension_soname;

// load extension
if (!extension_loaded($extension)) {
dl($extension_soname) or die("Can't load extension $extension_fullname\n");
}

$array_path = explode("/",$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
$dynamic_path = "";
for ($i=0;$i<sizeof($array_path)-1;$i++)
if($array_path[$i]!="")
$dynamic_path =$dynamic_path."/".$array_path[$i];

$flvpath = "flvfiles/";
$moviepath = "movies/" ;
chmod($moviepath,0777);
chmod($flvpath,0777);

if(isset($_FILES["x_URL"]))
{
$fileName = $_FILES["x_URL"]["name"];
$fileNameParts = explode( ".", $fileName );
$fileExtension = end( $fileNameParts );
$fileExtension = strtolower( $fileExtension );
if($fileExtension=="avi" || $fileExtension=="wmv" || $fileExtension=="mpeg" || $fileExtension=="mpg" || $fileExtension=="mov" )
{
if ( move_uploaded_file($_FILES["x_URL"]["tmp_name"],$moviepath.$_FILES["x_URL"]["name"])
)
{

if( $fileExtension == "wmv" ) {
exec("ffmpeg -i ".$dynamic_path."/".$moviepath."".$fileName."-sameq -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240 ".$dynamic_path."/".$flvpath."myflv.flv");
}

if( $fileExtension == "avi" || $fileExtension == "mpg" || $fileExtension == "mpeg" || $fileExtension == "mov" ) {
LINE 47--> exec("ffmpeg -i ".$dynamic_path."/".$moviepath."".$fileName."-sameq -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240 ".$dynamic_path."/".$flvpath."myflv.flv");
}


LINE 51--> exec("ffmpeg -y -i ".$dynamic_path."/".$moviepath."".$fileName."-vframes 1 -ss 00:00:03 -an -vcodec png -f rawvideo -s 110x90 ".$dynamic_path."/".$flvpath."myflv.png");
}
else
{
die("The file was not uploaded");
}
}
else
{
die("Please upload file only with avi, wmv, mov or mpg extension!");
}
}
else
{
die("File not found");
}
?>

 

Can anybody see what the problem might be?

 

Thanks in advance

It has nothing to do with your code. The exec() function has simply been disabled by your hosting service due to security risks. Safe mode is probably on. You could run phpinfo() and see for yourself.
