I want to pass a text as a argument from a bash file to a php script like this:
bash script
#!/bin/sh
php /var/www/html/assets/sms/get_sms.php $SMS_1_NUMBER $SMS_1_TEXT
php script
<?php
$url = "http://localhost/user/user/get_sms/".$argv[1];
$postdata = array('number' => $argv[1],'text'=>$argv[2]);
do_post_request($url,$postdata);
function do_post_request($url, $postdata)
{
//My function
}
?>
The problem is that, the first argument to the bash file is a number but the second argument is text. The Php file which receives the arguments just takes the first string of the text. For example, if the text of the $SMS_1_TEXT variable is "How can I make it work" , the php file will receive only "How".
How can I make it woks better?
Thank you very much
Quoting. Replace $SMS_1_TEXT by "$SMS_1_TEXT".

I want to pass the string from my php like
<?php
str1="string to pass"
#not sure about passthru
?>
And my tcl script
set new [exec $str1]#str1 from php
puts $new
Is this Possible? Please let me know I'm stuck with this
The simplest mechanism is to run the Tcl script as a subprocess that runs a receiving script (that you'd probably put in the same directory as your PHP code, or put in some other location) which decodes the arguments it is passed and which does what you require with them.
So, on the PHP side you might do (note the important use of escapeshellarg here! I advise using strings with spaces in as test cases for whether your code is quoting things right):
<?php
$str1 = "Stack Overflow!!!";
$cmd = "tclsh mycode.tcl " . escapeshellarg($str1);
$output = shell_exec($cmd);
echo $output;
echo $output;
?>
On the Tcl side, arguments (after the script name) are put in a list in the global argv variable. The script can pull them out with any number of list operations. Here's one way, with lindex:
set msg [lindex $argv 0]
# do something with the value from the argument
puts "Hello to '$msg' from a Tcl script running inside PHP."
Another way would be to use lassign:
lassign $argv msg
puts "Hello to '$msg' from a Tcl script running inside PHP."
Note however (if you're using Tcl's exec to call subprograms) that Tcl effectively automatically quotes arguments for you. (Indeed it does that literally on Windows for technical reasons.) Tcl doesn't need anything like escapeshellarg because it takes arguments as a sequence of strings, not a single string, and so knows more about what is going on.
The other options for passing values across are by environment variables, by pipeline, by file contents, and by socket. (Or by something more exotic.) The general topic of inter-process communication can get very complex in both languages and there are a great many trade-offs involved; you need to be very sure about what you're trying to do overall to pick an option wisely.
It is possible.
test.php
<?php
$str1="Stackoverflow!!!";
$cmd = "tclsh mycode.tcl $str1";
$output = shell_exec($cmd);
echo $output;
?>
mycode.tcl
set command_line_arg [lindex $argv 0]
puts $command_line_arg
So I need to found out if an upload from a user is images/ video and what type. I currently use
"filetype"=>system("file -i -b ".$_FILES['file']['tmp_name'])
which is inserted into my MongoDB collection via this
$s3file='http://'.$bucket.'.s3.amazonaws.com/'.$actual_image_name;
$collection = static::db()->media;
$datetime = time();
$mediaupload = array("owner"=>$_SESSION['user_information'][0]['_id'],"filelink"=>$s3file,"filetype"=>system("file -i -b ".$_FILES['file']['tmp_name']),"filesize"=>$size,"uploadtime"=>$datetime,"ownerid"=>$_SESSION["user_information"][0]['_id']);
$collection->insert($mediaupload);
$media = $collection->findOne($mediaupload);
However what I am noticing is it echos the result out to the PHP page - which is not what I need it to do. i know it is the system function because when I remove that function it does not echo the uploaded file type to the php code.
I am wondering therefor how can i still run that system file -i -b function and get it to include into the MongoDB database but not echo the result into the public php page return.
Try something like (for multi-line output)
exec("file -i -b ".$_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $output);
array("filetype"=>$output);
It may look a little unorthodox, but exec uses its second input parameter as a way to pass the output information back to you - the output of file will be stored as an array into $output.
From the docs:
If the output argument is present, then the specified array will be
filled with every line of output from the command. Trailing
whitespace, such as \n, is not included in this array. Note that if
the array already contains some elements, exec() will append to the
end of the array. If you do not want the function to append elements,
call unset() on the array before passing it to exec().
If you simply want the first line from the output, use the simpler version:
array("filetype"=>exec("file -i -b ".$_FILES['file']['tmp_name']));
I have switched the system to exec() and that seems to of fixed my issue
I am trying to run a .exe application with input file and argument.
With cmd I can successfully start the executable like this...
C:\Program Files\MyApp.exe "path\to\input file" argument
However, nothing happens when I simply copy paste the string above into the exec() function like this..
exec("C:\Program Files\MyApp.exe "path\to\input file" argument")
Do I need to escape parts of the string? How should I proceed?
Just pass the arguments like a normal calling from shell
ex:
exec("C:\Program Files\MyApp.exe \"path to\input file\" argument")
I had to use this format
php -q "./yii.php" migrate/up --interactive=0 --migrationPath=#vendor/pheme/yii2-settings/migrations
Due to reasons that are have nothing to do with the actual question, I need to call and use an external script via PHP to perform a string replacement on a complete html document. The replacement strings and the source code need to be passded to this script via php exec(). For this example, I have used a simple python script to take over the replacement.
PHP script looks like this:
$source = file_get_contents("somehtmlfile.html");
$replaceString = "Some text in the HTML doc";
$replaceTo = "Some other text";
$parsedString = system("python replace.py $replaceString $replaceTo $source", $retval);
print ("Done:" .$mystring);
Then the Python script will do the following:
import sys
import string
dataFrom = sys.argv[1];
dataTo = sys.argv[2];
dataSourceCode = sys.argv[3];
rep = dataSourceCode.replace(dataFrom, dataTo);
print rep;
The problem is that I can't pass the complete html source as an argument to the shell, at least not in the way shown above. From what I understood, while the html code gets passed to the shell it interpretes some sections as commands (multiline could be an issue here I suppose).
The output I receive from the script :
sh: cannot open !DOCTYPE: No such file
sh: cannot open html: No such file
sh: cannot open head: No such file
sh: cannot open title: No such file
... (this goes on)
Any suggestions?
It is not working because there are spaces and quotes in the html text that you pass as an argument, so it is seen as multiple arguments. To solve this, you have to put quotes around the arguments.
The correct code is $parsedString = system("python replace.py '$replaceString' '$replaceTo' '$source'", $retval);
I'm trying to pass variable from PHP file to Perl file by this code
In php file:
exec("perl delete_all.pl $used");
And in perl file I am trying: filename.pl
print $used;
But it's not working.
Perl isn't seeing $used, but the value of $used:
Get it from the argument list in Perl:
$used = $ARGV[0];
