PHP running in background + GET variables

[strange1]

Heya,

I wanna execute a script in the background.

exec('/usr/local/bin/php /www/htdocs/test/test.php?string=test1 > /www/htdocs/test/test.html &');

test.php just consists of a var named $string, however the exec command does not pass the value "test1" for $string like it does with http GET-vars.

I need some values passed to the test.php-script which should be processed in the background.

any ideas?

get rid of the ? and just seperate your passed pairs with spaces

/www/htdocs/test/test.php var1=hey var2=you

And of course you'll be dealing with argc and argv instead of get/post variables....

Good point id10t.

Try $_GET if you want, as it works fine on the servers I've used it on - and if you need spaces in words seperate with + or %20 urlencode stylee
