[SOLVED] Problem using exec()

Recommended Posts

I am trying to execute FFMPEG via PHP's exec() command with the following code:

[code]
$output = array();
$cmd = exec("ffmpeg -i /path/to/website/test_media/tortoise.avi -ab 56 -ar 22050 -b 500 -r 15 -s 320x240 /path/to/website/test_media/tortoise_success.flv", $output);
echo "--<br>";
echo nl2br($cmd) . "<br>";
print_r($output);
echo "<br>--";
[/code]

When I enter in this command logged into the shell it works, but when I try this out in PHP, I get no output from the code above.  Instead it just yields:

[code]
--

Array ( )
--
[/code]

I have tried an absolute path to ffmpeg but that hasn't made a difference.  Any ideas what might be wrong here?  Why am I not getting any kind of output (success/failure) from this?
