Hi... I started to "program" in PHP (better say to read it :P) from a
few days because I am installing a Wiki on a virtual server (Windows
Server 2003 with Plesk 7.6). I have PHP5 and all is working just fine.

However, I am trying to parse latex equations and encountered some
troubles. I have already installed all the necessary software and when
I execute the following by command line:

C:\miktex\bin\latex.exe --output-directory=C:\Inetpub\vhosts\mysite.com
\httpdocs\wiki\images\\tmp\\ --interaction=nonstopmode C:\a.tex

I generate the right file in the right folder. However, when I try to
execute (adding it to a PHP routine that is executed for sure):

$command = "C:\miktex\bin\latex.exe --output-directory=C:\Inetpub
\vhosts\mysite.com\httpdocs\wiki\images\\tmp\\ --
interaction=nonstopmode C:\a.tex";
$text = exec($command);

it doesn't happen anything. Permissions in tmp should be fine... do
you have any suggestion?

Thanks
Ale
