Using execl() to run php in Linux
Hi, my name is Geiger and I'm new to Linux. I'm using Ubuntu, and I'm programing with eclipse CDT.
My goal is to execute a php file and read the output to my c++ program. To do so I thought I should use fork(), dup2() and execl.
When in shell, the call "php myscript.php" worked just fine, but when in c++ I tried
execl("usr/bin/php", "php", "home/geiger/workspace/SemiServer/server_content/myscript.php", NULL);
and it didn't work (the process wasn't terminated and I got no output).
I tried different version of this call, like losing the "php" string and/or drop "home/geiger" from the path string, to no better result.
I would be grateful if anyone could point out the problem and a way to solve it.
Thanks in advance!

I dodn't know C++ but should not the full paths start with a /, so:
execl("/usr/bin/php", "php", "/home/geiger/workspace/SemiServer/server_content/myscript.php", NULL);
