soffice command not execute in php shell_exec()

Question

I have run this command in shell_exe() function as shown below:

shell_exec('/usr/bin/soffice --headless --convert-to html:HTML --outdir /home/admin/Desktop/ /home/admin/Desktop/text.docx');

But it gives me error like this in apache error log:

Error: Please reverify input parameters...

The error you have received is not PHP / apache related.

It is an soffice output.

So shell_exec() works without problems even the executed command returned an output that was passed back to the shell_exec() function.

To receive the error output is better to use exec() function instead of shell_exec()

This error is coming from php. I have seen in apache error log. soffice command works well in terminal directly.

Try redirecting the error output to the standard output using 2>&1

The same error is being displayed in browser which is shown in error.log.

Still the error is coming from soffice.. not from PHP. Apache only deliver the message from CLI back to your application and print it.

But how can you know that error is coming from soffice not from php. Please let me know.
