Note Submitter: ybhask at gmail dot com ---- Using Linux Ubuntu 16.04 apache2 php 7 on Lenovo laptop 32 bit. Exec command worked only after I closed terminal. I have tried the following command: $output = exec( "php script.php | awk -F= '{printf \"%d %s\n\", length($1), $0}' glossary2.snpz | sort -rn -k1,1 | sed -E -e 's/^[0-9]+ // ' " ) ; echo $output; I hope it will be useful to others. Context: I have used the output as a string for my php script to design a Translation Script from English to Telugu.
