passing binary path

[giulioprovasi]

I have a problem when specifying a binary path with spaces in it:

"C:\Program Files..." doesn't work (Cannot find "C:\Program" error)

I've tried to add double quotes when passing it to the Pdf generator but I always get the same error.

Can you help me with this ?

This is caused by this unsolved bug: mikehaertl/php-shellcommand#1

As I've explained there, I don't (and never will) use Windows for development, so it's a bit hard for me to debug the problem. But if you can help out to fix the above issue with shellcommands on windows I'm happy to include it. Feel free to further discuss the problem there.

One more thing: Have you tried to set escapeCommand in the commandOptions? See here for how to set these options: https://github.com/mikehaertl/phpwkhtmltopdf#note-for-windows-users. You can try to replace the esacpeArgs line with 'escapeCommand' => true.

I don't use windows either, but I have to use wkhtmltopdf on a windows production environment, that's why.

For now, I'll use a binary path without spaces, but i'll take a look the the command line project to see if I can solve this issue.

Edit: i've tried the escape, no difference

I temporarily solved the problem by doing this:

$globalOptions = Zend_Registry::get('pdf');
$pdfOptions['commandOptions'] = array(
            'command' => '"' . $globalOptions['binary'] . '"',
            'escapeArgs' => false,
            'escapeCommand' => true,
            'procOptions' => array(
                // This will bypass the cmd.exe which seems to be recommended
                'bypass_shell' => true
            ),
        );

instead of passing the "binary" option directly to the pdf generator.
It's not the cleanest solution, but it allows to correct the bug without any changes to the library.
