Hey,

I think this is a "problem" of the elog client, since it simply replaces the data. In most cases this is what you want, but since I wanted to have the option to append to the acutal message I built a function to first read-back the entry and add to the message instead of replacing it.

I just played around a bit and found that the attachments will be even disconnected, if you do not specify the -f parameter but just edit a different part of this entry.

A work-around for this is tricky. I tried to write to the "Attachment" attribute directly (-a "Attachment=Filename'), since then you coud read back the data first and manually add the filenames again. But this does not work.

Since the attachments are not actually removed, the only option I see is to modify the logbook file entry on the server by manually re-adding the filenames to the "Attachment: " line. But

Hi,

I need to run elog command in an online php script. The problem I see is that the script works from the command line but not from the browser. In the script I just use:

system(elog -h mypc -p 8080 -l bla -a Author=\'io\' -a Type=\' ..etc.etc

any suggestions?

<p>I have a problem running elog command from php script. Basically in the php I call system(&quot;elog -h etc etc.. And from the php command line works but not in the browser apparently without errors (php apache logfile no problem), any suggestions?</p>

Hey,
this sounds more like a PHP issue.
Which PHP version are you using? 
Which webserver? 
Which php function are you using: shell_exec() or exec()? Try looking at the return of exec()
Is the elog file set to the correct file permissions to be executed by the webserver?
Is the elog file in the PHP path or do you take care of defining the correct path?

Yes it was a path issue PHP was not loading correctly environmental path

Hi,

We have a user who posted a lot of inline jpg.  The elog system converted those to png and thus cause the size of the elog to expand about ~4x of the original size.  It is caused the problem of entry size too large for email notifications.  Is there a way to turn off the conversion to png picture file?  May I know also know why it converts to png to store on the server?  Thank you very much.
