I have some PHP files called file1.php, file2.php, file3.php. Now, I want to run these PHP files one by one from other PHP file called all.php. I mean file2.php will be executed after file1.php was completed. File3.php will be executed after file2.php was completed. How to do that ?
Can I use exec function ? It is safe for my hosting ? I am using Cpanel in shared hosting. There is any way to do that but safe for my content in hosting ?
Thank you very much !
you can use include()
include('file1.php');
include('file2.php');
include('file3.php');
include_once('file1.php');
include_once('file2.php');
include_once('file3.php');
or require or require_once
require 'file1.php';
require 'file2.php';
require 'file3.php';
=> require() will produce a fatal error (E_COMPILE_ERROR) and stop the script
=> include() will only produce a warning (E_WARNING) and the script will continue
in the file all.php you can do:
include('file1.php');
include('file2.php');
include('file3.php');
Yes you can use 'exec' function or as alternate 'system', 'passthru' functions
But in that case your files i.e. 'file1.php', 'file2.php' and 'file3.php'
If you want to execute a tottaly seperate script U could albo use exec (http://php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php)
