Error on executing libreoffice command using shell_exec()

Code:

shell_exec('libreoffice --convert-to pdf `'.$my_file.'` --headless');

I have tried this too

shell_exec('libreoffice --convert-to pdf `'.$my_file'` --headless > /dev/null');

Error on the server while executing above:

Output:sh: /my_files/my_file.doc: cannot execute binary file

Note: All other commands of linux working fine with shell_exec() just libreoffice command not working. And on linux terminal the libreoffice command working fine just not working using PHP.

You're using backticks, which tells the subshell to run that command and use its output in its place. Use double quotes instead, and it will work far more often.
