It seems the script is calling itself even though I'm specifying a different
script to run...
test2.php
<?php echo "Hello, World!"; ?>
test1.php
<?php
if( !isset($_POST['account_id']) || $_POST['account_id'] == "" ) {
echo "account_id is required.";
exit;
}
// more stuff here...
exec("/usr/bin/php -q /path/to/test2.php", $output); // should run
test2.php
echo "<pre>";
print_r($output);
echo "</pre>";
?>
http://www.example.com/test1.php
Expected Result:
Array
(
[0] => Hello, World!
)
Actual Result:
Array
(
[0] => X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.1
[1] => Content-type: text/html
[2] =>
[3] => account_id is required.
)
Can anyone explain this and possibly help me find a solution?
Thx,
Brad
