php and bash

Hi folks, new here.

On my website, I have this well it's a fragment of of it

<?php
      error_reporting(0);
   $fs = fsockopen('tux.isa-geek.org', 6881, $errno, $errstr, 30);
    if(!$fs){
       echo "<br><p> Images not available </p>";
       echo "<iframe id=\"myFrameL\" align=\"center\"
src=\"/webcam/testcard.jp
       echo "<br><p> Images not available </p>";
        } 
   else { 
   echo "<br><p> LiveCam </p>";
   echo "<iframe id=\"myFrameL\" align=\"center\"
   src=\"http://tux.isa-geek.org
   echo "<br><p> LiveCam </p>";
    }
   ?>

What I'd like to beableto do is from a bash script, call
$fs = fsockopen('tux.isa-geek.org', 6881, $errno, $errstr, 30);

and return $fs to bash. this is so I know from bash if my webcam is on or off.

if that isn't possible, can I set a env varible so I can check that with bash.

I am running a ubuntu jaunty box.

as long as the bash script and the php script are on the same server you can all the php script from bash (or command line)

php script.php

that will return what ever you echo in the script

may need path to php and will of course need path to script if not in same dir.

cheers, i think i'll need a -f too

if i remember correctly, you only need -f if the file is not *.php or what ever extension(s) php is set to parse. You don't need it be default, well i never have.

Quite correct!

just for a giggle, afer all it is Christmas, here's my tacky scripts.
If anyone has any ideas on tidying them up I am all ears. I can write code, just not that familier with two langs, yet!! Oh btw it works!

Bash

#!/bin/bash
#modified so won't kill the pic if not running!!
#echo "runing urlcheck"
result=$(php ~/bin/urlcheck.php)
if [[ $result == 1 ]]; then
   # kill pics
   find /home/ftp/private/webcam/ -mmin +10 -exec rm -f {} \;
elif [[ $result == -1 ]]; then
  # Not Killing pics 
fi

php

<?php
   error_reporting(0);

   $fs = fsockopen('tux.isa-geek.org', 6881, $errno, $errstr, 30);
   if(!$fs){
     echo -1;
   } 
   else { 
     echo 1;
   }
?>
