I have self-writed sh script, which contains contruction like "cd directory"
It is successfully running through terminal
. /path/to/script.sh param1 param2
I want to run this script through PHP
shell_exec('. /path/to/script.sh param1 param2');
shell_exec('. /path/to/script.sh "param1" "param2"');
not running correctly
shell_exec('/bin/bash /path/to/script.sh param1 param2');
running, but directory changing is not working
Please, help. Thank you in advance
You're starting your command with . - that will be interpreted as shell-source command, which is not what you want, obviously. Instead specify full path and do like:
$result = shell_exec('/bin/bash /full/path/to/script.sh param1 param2');
//var_dump($result);
-also, make sure your php user have permission to execute your sh-script and that PHP can use functions like exec() (they could be disabled by configuration)
cd? What is happening in your script? Why are you not able to use full path inside script instead of doing cd?cd_one (cd_one is function in my bash_profile) executing some routine operations cd_two (cd_two is function in my bash_profile) executing some routine operationscd first_directory and cd_two is cd second_directorycd at all - normally, its better to avoid them since they cause less-readable code)You need to use quotes to send arguments, try this :
$command_result = shell_exec('script.sh "'.$param1.'" "'.$param2."');
Use
shell_exec('./path/to/script.sh param1 param2');
instead of
shell_exec('. /path/to/script.sh param1 param2');
...and make sure your shell script have executable permission for user who is running your script.
This function is disabled when PHP is running in safe mode. Check your php.ini file and make sure safe mode is turned off and it's not in 'disable_functions'.
Aviod:
Using the . notation, which would not work outside a bash shell. Use /bin/bash <yourscript> instead.
Trying to cd to relative paths, as this confines the script's execution to be done from a specific location only
Referencing (or implying) .bash_profile resources, as .bash_profile is executed only for login shells. If applicable, use .bashrc instead.
It's better to use escapeshellarg to escape parameters instead of just adding quotes. escapeshellarg would escape all pram chars not allowed in shell.
~as HOME is different among users.cd directory, isdirectorya relative path or an absolute one?
