Hi there, i have following problem: Assume we have a "cron.php" which is called every hour by a cron job. This cron.php should then be used to execute other php-scripts "script1.php", "script2.php". For a pitty our server has Safe-Mode activated so we arent able to shell_exec / exec those files. So we came up with the idea: Lets include those scripts using include(). But this lead us to another problem: Namespace conflicts (our server is running php 2.7.2) especially with classes and constants. Example: <<script1.php>> <?php class A { public function test(){ echo "im class A at script 1"; } } ?> <<script2.php>> <?php class A { public function test(){ echo "im class A at script 2"; } } ?> <<cron.php>> <?php include('./script1.php'); include('./script2.php'); ?> Cron.php will raise a "cannot redefine class A" error. So my idea is to continously rename every occurence of class names and constants in the scripts by adding a suffix (ie. class A_123 and class A_234). Do you have an idea how to implement this during the deployment step? Sincerly yours
