Using bash script with PHP Exec with parameters

Pekeltje · 03-02-2014, 05:25 AM

Hello,

First of all, im new here and i hope im posting this in the right section.
Also im pretty new with using Linux (Ubuntu)
Forgive me if i dont understand you.

Im using https://github.com/vysheng/tg to send Telegram messages from commandline, wich works, everything is installed correctly.

Now im trying to send messages from PHP using exec()

PHP Code:



function stuurbericht($naam,$bericht){ 
    putenv("naam=$naam"); 
    putenv("bericht=$bericht"); 
        $output = exec('./stuurbericht'); 
            echo $output; 
} 
stuurbericht('User_Name','Dit is een test');

When i var_dump it i get: ./telegram[0x40c64d]

When i use php /location/of/script/send.php it goes to the screen where i can send messsages, but doesnt send anything yet.

This is my bash script:

Code:

naam=$naam
bericht=$bericht

echo $naam
echo $bericht


cd /location/to/telegram/tg-master
./telegram -k tg.pub
msg $naam $bericht

So you use a web frontend to write the message?
I am not sure but maybe this change makes a difference?

$output = exec('/full/path/to/stuurbericht');

First, try using passthru while developing to get the full output (exec only returns the last line).
