Run PHP CLI script from web page

I have a (possibly dumb) question. I have a script made in php built to use cli. Works well when I run it from the command line, no problem. The problem is that on the site I work on, there are restrictions on ssh on the hosting server, and I can not start it. Hence my question: how can I run a script from another php available on the Internet? Already tried with exec (), system (), etc. The main problem is that I need its variable $ _SERVER ['SHELL'], and when the call is sent from a web browser, of course php does not set it.

Any ideas would be much appreciated than x.

There are many ways that exec () functions and related function calls do not work for you.

  • Your web host has PHP-CLI installed. Just a web server
  • You need to use the full path to the php binary due to the lack of a decent shell environment. For instance. /usr/bin/php <script> instead of php <script> .
  • Your web host has installed PHP-CLI on a non-standard path (e.g. /usr/local/bin/php or /opt/php5/php )
  • The web server user does not have permission to access the php binary
  • Et cetera ..

maybe update php script to be both include and cli script.

use

 __FILE__

to check if this is a file, then read the options. otherwise do nothing.

and as include just call the function you want directly.
