Ethan,
As was explained in another post, sessions DO NOT WORK when you call
shell_exec because the browser the user is using holds the session cookie
WHICH IS NOT AVAILABLE during a shell_exec
This is totally expected behavior. If you need to call the second script
via a cron for example, no session variables will exist. Your script would
have to generate those values (perhaps from a database call to some table)
to have those available in the script.
If your first script is calling shell_exec ( calling shell_exec from a
script to another script in processing a browser call is just weird) then
you would have to pass the session values you need in the shell_exec call
as parameters.
