How to convert LaTeX to PDF/PNG by PHP

问题

I have LaTeX code inside PHP (not as .tex file); for example received by $_POST. How can I save the rendered LaTeX as a PNG or PDF file on my server?

EDIT: I know that PHP normally does not do this. I will run a shell command within PHP. Thus, I need something to do so in Linux terminal.

回答1:

you could exec() pdfTex to generate a PDF

URL: http://www.tug.org/applications/pdftex/

Run command

pdftex file.tex

after you saved your tex-code from $_POST to a file using file_put_contents() - make sure you have the rights to write in the specified folder.

hope that helps!
