Hi everybody. I need to use exec() to run a background php script, but
it's not working properly. Take a look at this sample:
a.php
<?
echo ' File A (1) ';
exec('php b.php > output.txt &');
echo ' File A (2) ';
?>
b.php
<?
echo 'File B';
?>
output.txt (begins with 64 null bytes before the following)
File A (2)
I would expect the output's content to be "File B", but it's not
happening. I came across this problem because I have a mailing
application which stopped working after being moved to a new host. The
messages were sent by a background script launched on user's demand.
Like this:
SendMessages.php
<?
...
exec('php Daemon.php -x ' . $USERID . ' > /dev/null &');
...
?>
Now it won't work, and I got no clue about what's going on. What now?
Thank you.
