Hi - I simplified the code at the maximum and wrote:

<?php

$fp = fopen(".\f.tex","a+");
fputs($fp,'s_1');
fclose($fp);
echo exec('2>&1; latex .\a.tex');

?>

f.tex is written in the same folder where the PHP page is executed,
showing that I have the proper permissions on the folder. When I
execute

latex .\a.tex

from shell, where a.tex is a properly formatted latex source, all work
fine.
However, "echo exec('2>&1; latex .\a.tex'); " does not provide the
attended results, not giving any output file. It returns the message
"operable program or batch file".

I really have no idea what is wrong :(

Cheers,
Ale
