    public function information($ffmpeg,$file)
    {
      $info = exec("$ffmpeg -show_streams $file");
      return $info;
    }
Solution

  • i'm use exec function to run my command with three argument and return value with second argument:

    $info = exec("$ffmpeg -show_streams $file",$output,$result);
return $output;
