I have a php file which needs to be executed in CLI from my Php application which runs on CodeIgniter framework. I tried the exec and shell_exec command and it seems to not start the process. Please find the code below which I try to execute.
$phpPath = exec('which php');
$cmd = $phpPath.' '.dirname(__DIR__).'/API/notification/NotificationServer.php';
echo "<pre>".shell_exec($cmd)."</pre>";
When I try running the above in Terminal it executes fine. I need to automatically trigger this once the user has a session set.
The path/$cmd variable prints
when I print the variable $cmd i get the below output, and the below when given in terminal works fine.
/usr/bin/php /Users/lalithb/Desktop/Android/AndroidWS/API/notification/NotificationServer.php
the above command works fine in the Terminal. When i try to exec/shell_exec it, it is not working.
APACHE_ERROR LOGS ARE :
sh: line 1: 2437 Trace/BPT trap: 5 /usr/bin/php
sh: line 1: /Users/lalithb/Desktop/Android/AndroidWS/API/notification/NotificationServer.php: Permission denied
Can someone help me out in running this above code in CLI ?
