Magento - Run Shell Script From Browser?

Question

Point 6 on the below page describes how data can be imported using a script: http://innoexts.com/currency-pricing/#.UjI1uPlgaHo

The problem is the example provides a shell script so I get an error when trying to run this from a browser. Is there any way that these types of scripts can be run from as a browser as I don't have access to Shell?

it uses the shell to execute a php file. you should be able to trigger the execution of the file via a web-request as well. perhaps you need to adapt the parameter handling. — mnagel

When I try from a browser I get an error: "This script cannot be run from Browser. This is the shell script." Apparently it is a security measure in Magento. — a1anm

I figured out the solution to this. Just needed to comment out the contents of protected function _validate() in /shell/abstract.php

In shell/abstract.php add a line below

protected $_factory; // Line 76

as

protected $_passvalidation = false;

Then change in function __construct()

$this->_validate();

to

if(!$this->_passvalidation) $this->_validate();

In your shell script add

function __construct() {
    $this->_passvalidation = true;
    parent::__construct();
}
