PHP Code:


			
define('PHPDIG_PARSE_PDF','/usr/local/bin/pstotext');



echo "Is parse pdf executable: " . is_executable(PHPDIG_PARSE_PDF) . "<br><br>"; 



Is parse pdf executable: // empty meaning false

Hi. The "is parse pdf executable" is not returning a result. This is why the expression in the if statement evaluates to false.

From php.net "If a directory is not executable, then you cannot get details on the files in the directory - this includes the permissions."

Try checking that the usr, local, and bin directories, as well as the pstotext file, are all 755 permissions.
