I'm trying to generate a pdf from a latex file with the command exec but it doesn't seem to recognize "xelatex".

When I echo any other command like "ls" with exec it works. Also, the file is generated when I run the command from cmd.

Any idea what the problem might be ?

I'm working on windows10.

Thanks,

exec's first parameter has to be a string; are you passing the argument in quotes? – parttimeturtle Mar 28 '19 at 19:56
Yes, I am running the command : `exec("xelatex invoice.tex", $output);` – castazer Mar 28 '19 at 20:02
Second parameter has to be a reference to an array. If you declared $output = Array(), you need to pass it to exec as "&$output" to pass by reference – parttimeturtle Mar 28 '19 at 20:09
Path... `exec("c:/path/to/xelatex invoice.tex", $output);` – AbraCadaver Mar 28 '19 at 20:23
