[FFmpeg-user] Calling FFmpeg from PHP: How to set logfile? (report)

[Peter B.]

Hi everyone!

I'd like to call FFmpeg from PHP, and I'm very grateful for all the
information in the Wiki [1]!
It feels like the "-report" option [2] that writes a logfile seems like
the more straightforward way to write the output to a file rather than
redirecting stdout/stderr.

However, "-report" only allows setting the filename by environment
variable - which might be a problem in some PHP environments, and it
somehow seems overkill to me...


I'd be grateful for any comments, suggestions or insights on this matter!
I was also wondering if all of the information PHP wiki article is still
up-to-date, since it was last modified 5 years ago?


Thank you very much in advance!
Peter B.
