Good day,
I have a question and something that either does not work, or I have not
gotten it to work the way I want to.
I have a start page, which is a form, that takes 2 text fields and also a
Attachment field. Then it calls the first page, which is supposed to spawn
of a call to another page (I want to get the page to open server side see,
to allow the user to close the window, and the process continues in the
background) ...so I use either passthru or have now tried system().
The problem is that I can pass my 2 text fields as arguments to the call but
I have a problem in accessing and using $_FILES now to handle the file
defined.
I have tried to pass it to a $_SESSION[FILES] , I have even tried to
serialize the whole array and pass it also as argument and build a array on
called php page, etc, but it does not seem to do anything, or handle the
file?
As further example, this is on the first page opened from the Form :
= php file 1 calling to file 2 =
session_start();
$_SESSION[FILES] = $_FILES;
session_write_close();
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$actionDate = $_REQUEST['actiondate'];
$files = serialize($_FILES);
$command = '/usr/bin/php -f /var/www/details/Write.php '.$email.'
'.$actionDate.' '.$files.' php.log';
system($command,$return);
At this point I would suggest that you echo $command before trying to execute
it.
I think you might find that you are trying to pass characters that the cli are
miss interpreting.

then in my called file
Write.php =
session_start();
$FILES = $_SESSION['FILES'];
$files1 = $FILES[coms1_attachfile];
$filename1 = $files1;

First, since you are calling this from the cli, their is no point in using
session_start(). session_start() has to do with running it in a web server not
from the cli.
Secondly, in file 1 you are using serialize() to package the $_FILES array. Yet
in file 2 you are not using unserialize() to extract the data from the package.
I would suggest reading here http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php
to get a better understanding of how to access the arguments that you are
passing on the cli.
$filename1 should now be recognized file name from a file provided in the
first form, and if statement then runs the file to process to read the file,
it seems here the process either does not get any file (so filename is never
true) or the file process have no file to work with.
I'm curious as to what your initial HTML form looks like.
So I am not really sure how passthru/system works with things like arrays
and sessions and $_FILES array etc
arrays, not via the cli argument list
serialized arrays, sure, but you have to escape any special chars that might
mess things up.
sessions, does not exist
$_FILES, no direct access
