Compiling on a server
I have implemented a PHP script which aims at making LaTeX code ready for compilation, according to some users' entries in a given form. This creates a .tex file and I want the output to be a .pdf. Thus, this .tex file has to be compiled, but my server (Free.fr), which is a free server, seems not to have installed LaTeX. As a result, I cannot directly compile my .tex file using Free.
However, I have found some online utilities which can compile a given .tex file, but it has to be submitted by a form or by other ubiquitously-known ways, and my website cannot make it on its own. Doing it manually would result in a great waste of time, and I would know if there exists a utility which can take as input a .tex file.
Any help would be much appreciated.
