Executing a shell script from a PHP script

Question

I want to execute a Bash script present on the system from a PHP script. I have two scripts present on the system. One of them is a PHP script called client.php

Answer 1

I was struggling with this exact issue for three days. I had set permissions on the script to 755. I had been calling my script as follows.

My script was as follows.

#!bin/bash
find . -maxdepth 1 -name "search*.csv" -mmin +0 -exec rm {} \;

I was getting no output or feedback. The change I made to get the script to run was to add a cd to tmp inside the script:

#!bin/bash
cd /tmp;
find . -maxdepth 1 -name "search*.csv" -mmin +0 -exec rm {} \;

This was more by luck than judgement but it is now working perfectly. I hope this helps.
