Hi,
we could also use shell_exec to execute multiple related commands
separated by semicolon (;).
And I figured out problem that sometimes arise related to the execution of complex java c/c++ programs. All we need to do is to set the required environment variables. I have a environment variable in .bash_profile. This variable would be set when I log into my account normally through shell. But when we use ssh2_connect(), the environment variables in the .bash_profile are not set, all we need to do is export the required environment variables with shell_exec();
example:
$conn = ssh2_connect($ipaddress);
ssh2_auth_password($conn,$username,$passwd);
$cmd1="/path/to/program1";
$cmd2="/path/to/program2";
$env1="export Variable_name1=path1";
$env2="export Variable_name2=path2"
$stream = ssh2_exec($connection,"$env1; $env2; $cmd1; $cmd2");//this would execute all the //commands and return
// stream
stream_set_blocking($stream, true);
while($o=fgets($stream)){
echo $o.'<br>';
}
