php ->sh ->php

[Georg Weiler]

Hi,

I'm trying the following without success:

I start a php script in the browser, that starts a shellscript, which
starts a second php script. As a result, I want to show the output of
the second php script in my browser. It works perfect on the shell
command line, but in the browser, the shellscript hangs!?!
I start the whole thing with the file file 'first.php':
first.php:
<?
$shell_output = shell_exec("/my_path/shellskript.sh");
?>
shellskript.sh:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/php /my_path/second.php
second.php:
<?
echo "Hello World";
?>

Anyone with ideas, why this is not working?

regards,georg.

Maybe the shell_exe shellskript.sh should have certain environment
variables set?

Hangs? Or just doesn't output anything?

This script doesn't output anything - you'd need to print out the
$shell_output variable.

/usr/bin/php /my_path/second.php
second.php:
<?
echo "Hello World";
?>
