My batch file:
C:\TeX\miktex\bin\latex.exe "E:\wamp\wamp\www\first-program.tex"
C:\TeX\miktex\bin\dvipng.exe "E:\wamp\wamp\www\first-program.dvi"
(BTW I have tried with double back slash as well as with forward slash in the path)
Runs perfectly fine when i just run the batch file from the command line.
But when I try to run the same batch file using the following php line of code:
exec('showpreview.bat');
the apache error log reports
latex.exe: The memory dump file could not be found.
latex.exe: Data: latex.fmt
Now what you say? Where I am wrong?
