Mental Blockage

[matfish]

Hi,

 

trying to run a .php script (on the same server) using a .sh script.

 

I thought it was something like

#!/bin/bash
curl "http://www.domain.com/script.php"

 

but it's saying "curl command not found" - but curl is on the server.. Mental blockage as I've done something similar before - any help?

 

Many thanks

if your trying to execute a script on the same server use php's cli.

 

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/php /path/to/script.php

 

If you really must execute the script via http, use wget.

 

#!/bin/bash
wget http://localhost/script.php

Is there no other ways from the above?

Im sure I used "curl username:password 'http://www.domain.com/script.php'" or something similar for when it was htacces password protected just to run the script and not download it with wget

There is different switches to wget just as there are different switches to curl. I was posting a simple example.

 

You on the other hand where not giving us all the information needed to help you.

 

Now I suggest you look up the man pages for wget and curl and go from there.

No point in asking for help on here if we got to RTFM

Exactly.

Sounds like you aren't using the absolute path to curl.  Try:

/usr/bin/curl

instead of just curl.

 

The reason for this is since you just a shebang in your script, it isn't importing the PATH variable correctly.  This will fix the "command not found" issue anyways- I'm not getting into whether curl or wget is the best way to do what you're trying to do.
