I forgot that PHP saves stuff in the /tmp directory (in my case
/var/www/html/tmp [with permissins/owner set accordingly].

So, it works with:


<?php

        $command = "/usr/bin/espeak -g0 -ven+m3 -p22 -s170 'Hallo Toofie' -w
                    /var/www/html/tmp/aba.wav";
        
        exec($command);

?>


Btw, it sounds pretty awful!

Hi,

I'm trying to utilize EXEC to have some text from a db query converted to a wav file using 'espeak'. The 'espeak' command works admirably by cli, but no matter what I do, exec does not
seem to function on my Linux box, even though safe_mode is off.

I've stripped the db query out, and ran a simplified text, 'Hallo Toofie' in the code. First off,
I made sure that the espeak code worked by cli. It does.

The code:

<?php

$command = "/usr/bin/espeak -g0 -ven+m3 -p22 -s170 'Hallo Toofie' -w aba.wav";
        
        exec($command);

?>


I've tried every combination I can think of including using 'espeak' without '/usr/bin',
directing wav output to '-f /home/kronos/aba.wav'.

What am I doing wrong?

Any help, pointers, suggestions appreciated!
