call artisan command using shell script

Question

can we call artisan command using PHP exec or shell_exec or system function?

exec('php artisan list');

I have tried the above command in the controller but it is giving me an error saying 'Could not open input file: artisan' actually, I want to call another artisan command this just for testing

please guide me if am doing anything wrong here

seems to be something related to your php file permissions. If it's on a dev server, try chmod it to 777 to test. — Oliver M Grech

In a controller you say? The artisan file is located in the root folder of the project, meaning that you would need to use the relative path or the absolute path in order to reach the artisan file :) — Eric Qvarnström

good point zeppo, but I think that would say file not found. "Could not" to me seems like a permission issue. Can't test it as I dont have an environment handy right now. — Oliver M Grech

True Oliver... I tried using exec('php artisan'); in one of my project and got the error "Could not open input file: artisan". However, when I used the absolute path, it worked fine. @sayyedtabrez, any progress? — Eric Qvarnström

The artisan file is located in the root folder of the project and you are trying to execute it from a controller in a different folder. Try using the absolute path or a relative path:

exec('php /path/to/rootfolder/artisan list');
