Help Running Octave

[kne]

Hi,

    I am a newbie to the php. I wrote a basic code to ask the user to upload a file and i provide it to octave. Ideally, the octave generates an output file and i should provide it to the user for download. I tried running octave from php using

"shell_exec('octave myfile.m')" and "exec('octave myfile.m')" too.  But this does not run the octave.

I need to know how i can run octave from PHP. I read about socket listen and socket create but i could not find any clear documentation on those. Can someone help me.

 

Thanks in advance,

Elan.
