Re: [PHP] exec() and redirect output of program
This way just lets it do it's own thing, with no output, and PHP won't
hang. It'll continue from the CLI after the HTTP session is over.

exec('php test.php /dev/null 21 ');

It seems the script is calling itself even though I'm specifying a different
script to run...
test2.php
?php echo Hello, World!; ?
test1.php
?php
if( !isset($_POST['account_id']) || $_POST['account_id'] == ) {
echo account_id is required.;
exit;
}
// more stuff here...
exec(/usr/bin/php -q /path/to/test2.php, $output); // should run
test2.php
echo pre;
print_r($output);
echo /pre;
?
http://www.example.com/test1.php
Expected Result:
Array
(
[0] = Hello, World!
)
Actual Result:
Array
(
[0] = X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.1
[1] = Content-type: text/html
[2] =
[3] = account_id is required.
)
Can anyone explain this and possibly help me find a solution?
Thx,
Brad

P.S. I am posting a form to the test1.php page with a valid account_id etc.;
after re-reading the message I thought someone might think it's printing
that result because nothing is posted.
Update:
I also found a file called error_log in the folder where test2.php
resides, full of several of these lines:
[01-May-2007 14:12:52] PHP Warning: Zend Optimizer does not support this
version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of Zend Optimizer in
Unknown on line 0
Could that have something to do with why the script is calling on itself
instead of running the specified php script?
I recently had the hosting company rebuild PHP, first they did
--enable-suexec (to run PHP as CGI) and then later rebuilt again to
--enable-pcntl and --enable-sigchild, as I thought I would be needing that
functionality. Did that break the CLI?
Please help, Thx.

It seems that the php binary isn't the same version as the php library
used in the webserver and so that there's a problem loading Zend. Are
you sure that the PHP binary is also replaced when they reinstalled
PHP?

Tijnema
Well, I finally got it working... I simply call php instead of using the
full path /usr/bin/php. When I type which php from the shell I get
/usr/local/bin/php so I'm not sure if the CLI binary maybe got moved when
we switched to CGI mode or what, anyway I still get the Zend Optimizer
Warning message when I run the script from the command line but for some
reason it doesn't write to error_log when the script is called from the
exec() function.. Maybe that's simply because the errors are being
redirected to /dev/null... But anyway it works now :) I will call up our
hosting company and see if we can do something about that Zend Optimizer
warning.
Thanks Daniel and Tijnema for the help.
Cheers,
Brad

Re: [PHP] exec() and redirect output of program [SOLVED]
Brad,
The error_log file is written by httpd (Apache). It actually just
sounds like they need to upgrade their Zend Optimizer, which is a cinch to
do.
