[SOLVED] Problem with escaping quotes PHP

[brianatlarge]

For some reason, the following code works fine in the command line:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/convert /home/brian/Kola_Motors/html/images/gallery/2006AudiA6-069767/thumb/car01.jpg -font Helvetica-Bold -pointsize 50 -draw "gravity center fill black text 1,12 'SOLD' fill red text 0,11 'SOLD' " sold.jpg

But in my PHP script, I've got this line:

Code: Select all

exec("/usr/local/bin/convert /home/brian/Kola_Motors/html/images/gallery/2006AudiA6-069767/thumb/car01.jpg -font Helvetica-Bold -pointsize 50 -draw \"gravity center fill black text 1,12 'SOLD' fill red text 0,11 'SOLD' \" sold.jpg");

And it doesn't go through. My error log has this:

Code: Select all

convert: unable to open image `sold.jpg':  @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2584.

The only difference I can see is that I'm escaping quotations. Is there a way to do this so it will work?

It isn't the command it is the environment.

PHP run from the web may not run in the same directory, or be able to write to the directory.

Fixed it. Had to change this:

Code: Select all

    exec("/usr/local/bin/convert /home/brian/Kola_Motors/html/images/gallery/2006AudiA6-069767/thumb/car01.jpg -font Helvetica-Bold -pointsize 50 -draw \"gravity center fill black text 1,12 'SOLD' fill red text 0,11 'SOLD' \" sold.jpg");

To this:

Code: Select all

    exec("/usr/local/bin/convert /home/brian/Kola_Motors/html/images/gallery/2006AudiA6-069767/thumb/car01.jpg -font Helvetica-Bold -pointsize 50 -draw \"gravity center fill black text 1,12 'SOLD' fill red text 0,11 'SOLD' \" /home/brian/Kola_Motors/html/images/gallery/2006AudiA6-069767/thumb/sold.jpg");
