Executing scripts...

How do I execute one .php3 script from another.
Passing one or two arguments, and then receiving
the output?

I have tried using the exec and passthru function,
with no luck.

PHP scripts are interpeted thus you cannot "run" them. However, you could include() one in your script which basically does the same thing.

Thanks, I got the picture...

You can do it like this :
exec("chp3php.exe -q d:weblibSendMemberMail.php3");

But I can't make exec let go of it, so it hangs. Any suggestions anyone ?

I would like to be able to do this myself.

The header() function can redirect the browser to a new page, but only at the very beginning -- not good enough.

Since I haven't yet found a way within PHP to just say switch_to_page ("new.php3"), I've been cheating and using javascript:

echo ("<SCRIPT>self.location.replace('new.php3');</SCRIPT>");
exit;

It's an ugly and flawed solution and I hate it. It would be great if anyone could offer a better way.
