I need to run some binaries from within php web pages.

Ironically, it's to convert Word/Excel to PDF, no joke, but open office 
does it pretty easily.  No need to buy someone's service.

My problem is, the cli version of PHP executes the scripts perfectly, but
the FreeBSD Apache module PHP 5.4.7 - which I believe doesn't have the 
safe mode, well it does a SIG_ABORT on the open office binary.

I've been reading web pages all day but don't see how to get around this.
