[Plugin: EidoGo for WordPress] proc_open() is disabled for security reasons

  • My PHP host has disabled all the ‘exec’ type functions, including prop_open() and system().

    So I’m getting an error message in my RSS feed when the EidoGo plug-in tries to run an image conversion utility.

    I successfully removed the error message by adding in some check code:

    if(!function_exists('proc_open') || !function_exists('system')) return $fallback;

    I guess the next step is to create a CGI wrapper for that system call.

  • Dear Dencal,

    Where do I have to add the check code?

    It should be added to function embed_static (anywhere in that function prior to the last return).

    Thanks for the quick reply. I will have a look.

    I was a bit hasty in my previous reply. Yes, it goes in function embed_static but not just anywhere.

    The check code should go before the calls to proc_open and system. Otherwise the check would be too late to prevent the error message.

    So I guess it should go near the top of function embed_static.

    Cheers,
    Dennis

    I placed the check code in wp-eidogo.php just before
    # Avoid errors and possible nasties

    But I still get the error message in my RSS feed:
    Warning: proc_open() has been disabled for security reasons in …./wp-eidogo.php on line 1097

    Problem is solved, your check code works fine. My webhost was migration the webserver to another one. I didn”t know that. I uploaded the file to the new server but my browser showed the content of the old server.

    Thanks, Otto
