redirect problem

[sniperscope]

Hi gurus.

I would like to ask that why this code takes a lot time to redirect to the index.php

i want to go to index.php right away i click the Submit button but test.php runs at background.

I am totally and  :'(

 

Great appreciate for any help

Regards

 

$ch 		= curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com/admin/test.php");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "user:pass");

$data		=  curl_exec($ch);

header("location: index.php?r=1");

[trq]

Your script needs to wait for curl_exec() to finish before moving on to header().

How can i redirect it without waiting? I changed header location and put on top of script but still o chance...

So far i am digging exec command but my host safe_mode=on and still i have to wait.

Shortly i am desperate

here is my exec command. But this command doesnt trigger test.php i put a small sql code which insert 1 line record and when i check db see nothing inserted.

 

exec ("/home/project/public_html/example/admin/_cron/test.php  >/dev/null &");

[trq]

Does test.php have a shebang line in it?

[sniperscope]

she bang you mean start with #/bin/usr ?

No. There is no shebang. Should i add ?

[trq]

You'll either need to add one or tell your shell which application you want to execute the script. eg;

 

exec ("/usr/bin/php /home/project/public_html/example/admin/_cron/test.php  >/dev/null &");

 

Otherwise, your shell itself (usually Bash) will attempt to execute it.

thorpe, i am very glad to your help. Really appreciate that.

 

last command you gave me didn't work. Well, redirecting ok but as i mention above. I have small sql script doesn't insert any record which means exec command not execute actually.

And another point

/usr/bin/php / is the same path for all linux servers ?

[trq]

/usr/bin/php / is the same path for all linux servers ?

 

No, but its pretty common.

 

command -v php

 

will show you where php is installed.

[sniperscope]

please forgive my ignorance

how to use that command ? <?php echo command -v php ?>

[trq]

You need to type that at a shell prompt. Or php...

 

echo system('command -v php');

 

if you don't have access.

[sniperscope]

appear blank page...  :confused:

[trq]

command -v returns blank when nothing is found. So, your server may not have php's cli installed.

Thank you very much thousands of times... Have any suggestion ? To run exec command without shebang.

[trq]

You can't exec any php if thats what your hoping.

 

What exactly are you trying to do?

[sniperscope]

i am trying... Post data to (let's say) from form.php to insert.php. In insert.php(which has curl command previously i posted) going to test.php. Test.php is getting all records and put into a loop and send mail. But my problem is my hosting company allowed me to send 50 mails per 4 mins. So, when run loop i put a counter and if it reaches the 50 sleep(240); then get new smtp session send another 50 mails.

Here i found some solution but not sure if it works or not

1 - insert.php create a file and write number of last record of DB and redirect to index.php

2 - run a cron job every 5 min.

3 - open text file, read it and compare the number with db last record ie: write 50 in text file and db has 51 records. So which means not equal and run loop.

4 - before run loop write new value into text file to prevent run same script again

 

I will give a try to this way and hopefully works.

 

I really appreciate for your help

 

Regards

 

Note : if you have a better idea, ready to listen and try it.

I would get a host that supports your requirements. Your not likely to find a reliable hack for this.
