[Toolserver-l] what's the best way to convert SVGs to PNGs on the toolserver?

[Ryan Kaldari]

For some reason I can't get the command to work properly from PHP, although
it works fine from the command line. I tried to execute the following from
PHP on nightshade:
    $command = "rsvg newmap.svg newmap.png";
    $makemap = system($command, $retval);
    if ($retval) echo "PNG creation error.";
This creates a file called newmap.png, but the file is always 0 bytes, and
no error is returned. Running the same command from the command line works
perfectly. Any idea what's wrong? Could this have anything to do with the
rsvg security patch? Do I need to pass the file differently within a script?
