在php中执行程序 - 显示并返回输出

Question

In php there are several methods to execute a shell command:

• system()
• passthru()
• shell_exec()
• exec()

First two displays output but doesn't return it. Last two returns output but doesn't display it.

I want to run shell command which require a lot of time but it displays some output so I know it doesn't hang. However at the end I want to process this output in php. If I choose one of first two I won't get output so I will be unable to process it in php. If I run one of the last two I will be able to process output however my program will hang very long time without outputting anything.

Is there a way to run a shell command which will display output immediately and return it?

Maybe this one will interest you? proc_open() - http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.proc-open.php

And here is a handy snippet which might work for you (it's copied from the comments on the site I gave you the link to):

<?php
/*
 * Execute and display the output in real time (stdout + stderr).
 *
 * Please note this snippet is prepended with an appropriate shebang for the 
 * CLI. You can re-use only the function.
 * 
 * Usage example:
 * chmod u+x proc_open.php
 * ./proc_open.php "ping -c 5 google.fr"; echo RetVal=$?
 */
define(BUF_SIZ, 1024);        # max buffer size
define(FD_WRITE, 0);        # stdin
define(FD_READ, 1);        # stdout
define(FD_ERR, 2);        # stderr

/*
 * Wrapper for proc_*() functions.
 * The first parameter $cmd is the command line to execute.
 * Return the exit code of the process.

function proc_exec($cmd)

    $descriptorspec = array(
        0 => array("pipe", "r"),
        1 => array("pipe", "w"),
        2 => array("pipe", "w")
    );

    $ptr = proc_open($cmd, $descriptorspec, $pipes, NULL, $_ENV);
    if (!is_resource($ptr))
        return false;

    while (($buffer = fgets($pipes[FD_READ], BUF_SIZ)) != NULL 
            || ($errbuf = fgets($pipes[FD_ERR], BUF_SIZ)) != NULL) {
        if (!isset($flag)) {
            $pstatus = proc_get_status($ptr);
