RE: [PHP] Start php-script with exec()?

[snip] måndagen den 22 september 2003 kl 14.31 skrev Jay Blanchard: > exec("php script.php"); will run the script. How does this look on a OSX/UNIX system? Can the path to php be found in a system variable, for convinience and portability of the script? [/snip] As usual for *nix type 'which php' which will return the path to the PHP executable. For portability you could then do something to the effect of (not tested) $pathPHP = exec("which php"); exec("$pathPHP script.php"); If you know the path to PHP you can include a bash line at the top of the script and remove the php call from the exec. #!/usr/local/bin/php //(top line of script) exec("script.php"); See http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php for more details
