pdflatex return values

Post by DragonMaster »

I am looking to incorporate pdflatex calls into a php script, but could do with identifying whether the call was successful (return value). Looking through the man page, and searching the web I haven't found any details - have I missed something obvious, or do I need to parse the progress data from pdflatex to look for important keywords?
