Humpa,

here's one for you! As you may remember, I couldn't get the edit facility to work within my copy of your mms scripts due to not being able to use exec, system or passthru.

I have been onto my webhosts to see if they could help and they have said to create my own php.ini file to sort the problem locally. I'm obviously very pleased with this, but I'm a bit unsure what to do next. I have downloaded the full php.ini from php.net and had a look thru it. I have run a phpinfo.php on my server and part of it reads thus:

That's what it sounds like.
Can you put the php.ini in any directory? It doesn't have to be in your public_html directory or somesuch?

Also, you have to use "enable_functions = exec" - otherwise it will be disabled still.

Cool

I'll put it in the public_html folder and see if everything works as it should. I have a test install of your scripts on another server so I will see if that works first before putting it over to my main install...

Will let you know how it goes.

Thanks a lot Humpa, you rock! guitar

Ah well

Tried putting it in the public_html folder - still didn't work. Then the main mms folder - still nothing...Then finally the mms/delete folder and still nothing. I think I raed the server needs rebooting before it will work - but the hosting company won't do that for me Sad

Pain in the ass!

I think I'll just forget using the Imagemagick facility altogether Sad

For both of us!

I put a post up in another php forum explaining the problem and I got this reply:

I thought you said your webhost was the one to tell you to use a php.ini in your directory.

Have you asked them why it isn't working? I wouldn't think this is something that would work by default, at least I've never been able to do it with any of my webhosts.

Yep, it was my webhosts that told me to use the php.ini. I think the guy I referred to in my last post didn't really understand what I was trying to do. I haven't been back in touch with my webhosts as yet, but I'm planning on doing so sometime today if I still can't get it working.
