Pass variables to a background process.

[mbrown122]

I know how to start a process in the background, but how do I pass variables (from the calling script) to the background process?

 

Thanks.

_get ?

Assuming your talking about command line script, you would simply pass them as an argument. eg;

 

parent.php

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php

  $arg = 'foo';
  exec("child.php $arg &");

?>

 

child.php

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php

  if ($argc == 1) {
    // do something with $argv[1]; / foo
  }

?>
