Run ffmpeg command with php

Hi,

In my last article I have tackled the problem for ffmpeg
installation when u dont have YUM installed on your server,
on same day I have again faced problem with execution of
ffmpeg commands from php and I have found below solution
for this on google

array("pipe", "r"), // stdin is a pipe that the child will
read from
1 => array("pipe", "w"), // stdout is a pipe that the child will
write to
2 => array("pipe", "w") // stderr is a file to write to
);

$pipes= array();
$process = proc_open($cmd, $descriptorspec, $pipes);

$output= "";

if (!is_resource($process)) return false;

#close child's input imidiately
fclose($pipes[0]);

stream_set_blocking($pipes[1],false);
stream_set_blocking($pipes[2],false);

$todo= array($pipes[1],$pipes[2]);

while( true ) {
$read= array();
if( !feof($pipes[1]) ) $read[]= $pipes[1];
if( !feof($pipes[2]) ) $read[]= $pipes[2];

if (!$read) break;

$ready= stream_select($read, $write=NULL, $ex= NULL, 2);

if ($ready === false) {
break; #should never happen - something died
}

foreach ($read as $r) {
$s= fread($r,1024);
$output.= $s;
}
}

fclose($pipes[1]);
fclose($pipes[2]);

$code= proc_close($process);

return $output;
}
