How to execute two commands within 'system'

[cadbilbao]

Hi.

I want to execute these two system commands:
# cd /home/foo1/foo2
# /usr/local/php/bin/php /home/foo1/foo2/script.php

If I do it via shell, it works ok.

But If I do:
-------
system("cd /home/foo1/foo2/", $retval);
system("/usr/local/php/bin/php /home/foo1/foo2/script.php", $retval);
--------

I get this error message:
-----
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '../config/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php/lib/php') in /home/foo1/foo2/script.php on line 2
-----

This error is caused by the fact that the script is not executed in the right directory.

Any similar experience?

I don't see any reference to '../config/config.php' in your example uses of system(), so I'll assum that the error is coming from the script you're trying to run.

Whatever line of code contains '../config/config.php', change it to a filesystem absolute path.
