Hi André,
It sounds interesting. But since I am pretty new to PHP, I have some
questions, naive maybe, about what you wrote.
"#!/bin/sh\n/path/to/script/Send.php 12 &\n"
What does the Send.php look like? I do not have idea how a shell interprets
an php script and what the parameter 12 means here. If you do not mind,
could you please also let me look at your Send.php?
Thank you very much.
I did something like that for a newsletter sending script. Basiclly, I
had two scripts:
a) AddEdit.php that would list the newsletter's items and allow it to send
b) Send.php that was a script I ran on the background
When pressed "Send" on AddEdit, it would do something like
$tempName = tempnam( '/tmp', 'newsletter' );
$fp = fopen( $tempName, 'w+' );
fputs( $fp, "#!/bin/sh\n/path/to/script/Send.php 12 &\n" );
fclose( $fp );
chmod( $tempName, 0755 );
system( $tempName . ' &' );
That way, it would launch the second script into the background,
checking if the script altered the newsletter's state for "Sent"
everytime a user saw the newsletter's details.
Hope it helped.
