There maybe times when you need to run another PHP script from within a PHP script.
I think we need an example:
We have a PHP script that runs every day which we will call: dailyscript.php
In this script we would like to make sure a friend gets an email to let them know that the script has run, instead of having the email code in this script we have a separate one called: emailscript.php
We would like dailyscript.php to invoke emailscript.php at some point in the script.
In dailyscript.php add:
exec(“php-cli /path/folder/emailscript.php“);
This will do it!
If however you would like the results of the emailscript.php (maybe it echo’s DONE!) you can use this command:
exec(“/path/folder/emailscript.php“);
