[PHP] Execute a php page and don't wait for it to finish
Hi List, I have a php page that updates data from one database to another when it is run. My query is, how can I trigger the execution of this update page from another php / javascript without the calling page having to wait for the update page to finish?

Re: [PHP] Execute a php page and don't wait for it to finish
What about simply having the script trip a flag that another background script checks every 60 seconds or so? Once a minutes a background script checks to see if it needs to preform any tasks. When a user hits a certain page it does an ajax request to trip this flag and immediately returns. The next time the background script checks if it needs to do anything, it sees the tripped flag and preforms the relevant database copy - or whatever :-) Chris.

Re: [PHP] Execute a php page and don't wait for it to finish
A simple AJAX script would do the trick, no? Or does the script which was triggered by JS get aborted if that page is unloaded? If javascript is unavailable you could trigger it through the img tag like so: img width='0' height='0' src=updater.php alt= / Again, not sure if it will keep running if the caller is unloaded. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

2) Maybe
http://robert.accettura.com/blog/2006/09/14/asynchronous-processing-

could help you, but I never tried that.
What about having the script flags a field in the DB and have another script
running as daemon either via cron or Windows Service/Scheduler and run the
command based on the flag in the DB? This way, you don't have to worry
about the security issues of *pclose(popen('/usr/bin/php
/path/to/something.php /dev/null ', 'r')*
You can also have another page that will flag the DB should the user wish to
abort the command. The background script would check this abort flag so
often based on your criteria and abort the corresponding command
accordingly, especially if some of the command may run for extended period
time.

I don't remember what it was I was doing, but I do remember I later found a php module that allowed me to do it all in pure php (something image processing related). -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Execute EXE with variables
Hi,
I've had a lot of problems with shell_exec too. Mostly it was permissions or
environment variables not being set. i dont know if there is a way to set
environment variables in the php.ini but if not you can set them with
shell_exec as well, at least on unix it works. You can simply concatenate
the commands necessary with a colon (;) inbetween. Maybe you can have
multiple shell_exec commands and it stays in the same env. Not sure about
this though. Please someone enlighten us on this...
Hope some of this helped.

I use the exec() function regularly and have no troubles passing more
than one argument to it. Admittedly, I've not tried this on a Windows
system, just a Linux one, and I was using exec() to call a Bash script,
which should behave like an exe I guess.

Well, you're missing a semi-colin after the exec() statement, and the echo.
If it wasn't the syntax error, make sure the program exists with file_exists();

[PHP] Execute a script from command line on a Linux system with Plesk (safe mode)
Hello,
I am trying to execute this script (from command line):
function getMailboxSize($domain, $mailbox){
// Maildirectories are stored under /var/qmail(mailnames/domain/mailuser
$path = /var/qmail/mailnames/ . $domain . / . $mailbox;
$size = shell_exec(cd . $path . ;du -bc * | grep total | cut -d\\t -f
0,1);
return trim($size);
}
I get the warning: shell_exec(): Cannot execute using backquotes in Safe Mode.
Ok, I don't want to modify to suphp or so... what other alternatives do I have?
Shall I put this code in a shell script, sudo it and let it execute by my php
script? Or how can I get around?
I have also tried to connect via mysql in order to get the usage/limitation
with the imap_get_quotaroot function...
I used this code:
function getMailboxSize($domain, $mailbox, $passwd){
$mbox = imap_open({my_server_ip:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert},
$mailbox.@.$domain, $passwd, OP_HALFOPEN) or die(can't connect: .
imap_last_error());
$size = 0;
$quota = imap_get_quotaroot($mbox, INBOX);
if( $quota != FALSE is_array($quota) ){
print_r($quota);
}else{
echo no quota?\n;
}
imap_close($mbox);
return $size;
}
imap_get_quotaroot returns false.
I don't know really what else I could try... The goal is to get the usage of
each imap mailbox on the machine (used/quota) to know if it is full or not (if
not, how full?).
Would be nice if someone could help :)

At that point, I go to the client and explain why I need cron jobs and
database access.
We then either go to the host and get it.
Or we find a host that will provide it.
Or, in extreme cases, I build that side portion of their site on a
good host, and provide some kind of API (however crude it may be) so
that the functionality appears on their website, even when it's not
really on their host.
Attempting to fork from exec is an exercise in frustration and
version-specific gotchas as well as more than a few generalized
gotchas
I've done it, and it is possible but it's such a Last Resort, that I
wouldn't recommend it.
In principle, it's as easy as:
?php
$command = send junk off to Web Services shell script $args;
exec($command , $output, $error);
//This next line is a shameless plug for http://l-i-e.com/perror
if (function_exists('strerror')) $error .= . strerror($error);
if ($error) error_log(OS Error: $error - $command);
?
In practice, depending on the setup of the server and a whole host of
conditions I never quite understood, the will or won't work.
You can maybe fix that with a shell script of your own that does the
but if you don't have shell access, that's pretty much not fun with
FTP and test/re-test.
Then... I could go on a lot longer, but am going to quit now.
You could do without the database by just appending the info into a
flat file...
You can find work-arounds to the cron problem in many ways -- Sites
that surf to your page in a cron-like fashion, running cron elsewhere
to hit your own page, etc...
I'd go with any of those before trying to fork in a web environment,
personally.

Hi all
This one's got me stumped. I'm working on a PHP CLI interface, and I
need to allow the user to input a bit of HTML.
Rather than bandy around with readline() and the like, I thought it
would be nice to just create a temporary file, pop nano up, and read and
then delete the file once it's been edited. That way I get nano's syntax
highlighting and other useful features.
However, I can't for the life of me figure out how to allow the user to
interact with nano once the process has been launched. The usual culprits:
{exec,system,shell_exec}( nano tmpfile.txt );
all just hang (top shows nano is running, but it doesn't seem to be
attached to the terminal).
How can I launch a process and attach it to the terminal PHP CLI was
launched from so that the user can interact with it?
TIA

[PHP] Execute appliction and pass parameters to it!
Hi,
I am trying to execute one application (bat file) and need to pass parameter to
it. I want to put this into wrapper file which i can call over http. Can i do
this?
I tried the following:
--
1) $output = shell_exec('..\phpunit.bat C:\Run.php');
echo $output;
Result: No output. Nothing happened.
2) $cmd = '..\..\phpunit.bat';
// Setup an array of arguments to be sent.
$arg[] = ..\..\Run.php;
// Pick a place for the temp_file to be placed.
$outputfile = '..\..\CMDOUT.txt';
// Setup the command to run from run
$cmdline = cmd /C $cmd . implode(' ', $arg) ;
try
{
echo Came in try;
$WshShell = new COM(WScript.Shell);
$oExec = $WshShell-Run($cmdline, 3, true);
echo $oExec; // This is not getting printed.
echo Coming out of try;
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
echo came in catch;
print(Caught Exception in .
$e-file() . on line .
$e-line() . br\n);
}
Result: Nothing is happening. It is printing both the statements in the try
block.
3) $firstArg = C:\\..\\..\\Run.php;
$output = exec(C:\\..\\..\\phpunit.bat $firstArg);
Result: Still nothing is happening.
4)$output = exec(C:\\..\\..\\phpunit.bat $firstArg 21, $myOut);
echo br/My out value is .$myOut;
Result: My out value is Array operable program or batch file.
--
All the above approaches not working for me.
Can somebody inform me where i need to make changes.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dipesh

Change shell_exec to exec, and use the extra parameters to get back ERROR
MESSAGES and ERROR CODE.
Print those out, and Windoze should tell you what's wrong.
Don't use '..\phpunit.bat' -- Use a full pathname.
Also don't use \ at all, I don't think... I *think* PHP will convert / to
the right thing for your OS. No promises on that part.
If you *DO* use \, you should use \\, even inside '', just case your
filename ever has a ' in it or you ever need to use variables, switch to
, and suddenly it doesn't work because now \n isn't what it once was.
3) $firstArg = C:\\..\\..\\Run.php;
$output = exec(C:\\..\\..\\phpunit.bat $firstArg);
Result: Still nothing is happening.
4)$output = exec(C:\\..\\..\\phpunit.bat $firstArg 21, $myOut);
echo br/My out value is .$myOut;
Result: My out value is Array operable program or batch file.
echo br /My out value is , implode(, $myOut);
Also add $myError argument, and do:
if ($myError) echo OS Error: $myErrorbr /\n;

[PHP] execute methods dynamically
Hello everybody,
I want to write a method in version 4 that executes a method of an object.
As parameter the classname and the methodname is passed:
function executeMethod($classname, $methodname) {
$object = new $classname();
$object-$methodname();
}
This does not work. What am I doing wrong?

looks fine to me, except that I tend to run a check to make sure that it
has run ok, like
$myReturn = shell_exec('/test/acct.sh');
or
if (shell_exec('/test/acct.sh');
On some systems you have to execute the script
eg
$myReturn = shell_exec('. /test/acct.sh');
Also make sure that the acct.sh script is executable by the php user
(chmod / chown are your evil friends :) )

Note that shell_exec() expects a filesystem path and not your webserver's
document root.

Note also that if command executes correctly without error then 0 is returned
and non-zero in case of errors.

You *may* be able to start a script in the background, but once the first request to the webserver finishes, you can't interact with the file again. I would say do the check on every page load and popup your popup then. You could also add some JS to make a call back to the webserver (via a hidden iframe) to check to see if it should popup. You could also run a PHP script from cron that writes a file (to /tmp, say) that lets a request know when to popup. On every request, you check for the file and popup if it's there.

RE: [PHP] execute script via email?
Sure... You can write a small php script that uses PHP's imap or pop
functions to monitor any email address. (Check out
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.imap.php for details.) Once that's
written, just schedule it as a task using the windows scheduler or cron
in unix/linux.

Re: [PHP] execute php script with crontab
Sorry, for delayed reply, but anyway thanks for your help and your sugestions to check the cron log, after read the tutorial and do some actions (trial and error) for a days, finally i found i know it what's going on, the tutorial say that there is two way to run php script with cron : 1. First by using cgi compile the php code into binary file use the path of the file /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/html/sampel.php, or 2. use lynx http://server.com/sample.php and when i try the step one there is an error like this : PHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php4/gd.so' - /usr/lib/php4/gd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 is that somebody know this problem and how to solve it... because i fail in the first way, so i use the second way and the script works... and the first step still make me confused what's going on...?? does any one have the idea???

Probably you should look over here for info about suexec http://httpd.apache.org/docs/suexec.html, or check the 'sudo' man pages...

Re: [PHP] Execute at a defined time
Hi Miguel, You can use cron to execute the CGI or CLI version of PHP against your PHP script, for example /usr/local/bin/php example.php, simply create a cron entry that will execute at the desired time. If you need information on the crontab format do a man crontab or search google for cron help as there is a lot of information available.

Re: [PHP] Execute at a defined time
If you have PHP compiled as cgi then you can run something like: php /path/to/my/script.php or if you can request the page via your website with something like: lynx -dump http://your site.com/yourscript.php Also if you want to know how to use cron, try typing man cron in your shell Hope this helps Andrew - Original Message - From: Miguel Brás [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 1:49 PM Subject: [PHP] Execute at a defined time Hi, I was looking on PHP manual but didn't find anything about it.

Re: [PHP] Execute a cgi inside of php?
The error you get does not have to do with that note,
but rather that code of yours has many other issues
such as:
a) The syntax is incorrect
print a b c d; // bad
print a b \ c \ d; // good
print a b ' c ' d; // good
print 'a b c d'; // good
...
http://www.php.net/types.string
b) You are attempting to mix SSI into PHP
You can't do that, just like how one can't
write PERL or ASP code in PHP.
Some options:
a) Using virtual()
virtual(../cgi-bin/include/horoscopes.cgi);
b) Go through HTTP
$url = 'http://www.example.com/foo/horoscopes.cgi';
echo implode('', file($url));
c) Rewrite horoscopes.cgi as PHP
This is the ideal option, consider doing this
in the future.
That manual note you referred to has to do with code
such as (http == remote file):
include 'http://www.example.com/foo.php';
Which would include the output of that url into the
webpage. This is unrelated and remember that parse errors
are always due to syntax problems.

Philip Olson
