Passing Array Through Exec()

[hoopplaya4]

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to pass an array using exec(), but I am not able to display the array.

 

Here's what I am using:

<?php

$arrayhere = array("1","2","3"); 

exec("php testarray.php $arrayhere > /home/public_html/logs/test.php &");

 

Then the "testarray.php" page has this:

 

<?php
$id = $argv[1];

foreach ($id as $value) {

echo $value;

}

 

And, when I look at the results, the following error is printed:

 

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/coachser/public_html/testarray.php on line 9

 

Any ideas why it wouldn't be displaying the array?

You can't pass an array through command line. You'd need to serialize it first.

Thanks for the reply.

 

So, now, when attempting to serialize, for some reason, the exec() does not even take place.  This is my new code:

<?php
$arrayhere = array("1","2","3"); 

$newarray = serialize($arrayhere);

exec("php testarray.php $newarray > /home/coachser/public_html/logs/newtest.php &");

 

It's not even creating the "newtest.php" file.  But, I found that when I remove the $newarray from the

exec("php testarray.php...

portion, then it creates the "newtest.php" file.  Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?
