PHP forward to pipe
Hi
I am trying to set up a forwarder to pipe to php script.
The entry in the forwarder list is as follow:
prakash@domain.com to |home5/nadlani1/public_htm
The opening of the script is
#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?php
and the beginning of the bounce back message is:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
pipe to |/home5/nadlani1/public_ht
generated by prakash@domain.com
The following text was generated during the delivery attempt:
------ pipe to |/home5/nadlani1/public_ht
generated by prakash@domain.com ------
Error in argument 1, char 3: option not found <
Usage: php [-q] [-h] [-s] [-v] [-i] [-f <file>]
php <file> [args...]

-C Do not chdir to the script's directory
-c <path>|<file> Look for php.ini file in this directory
-n No php.ini file will be used
-d foo[=bar] Define INI entry foo with value 'bar'

-s Display colour syntax highlighted source.
-v Version number
-w Display source with stripped comments and whitespace.
-z <file> Load Zend extension <file>.
-T <count> Measure execution time of script repeated <count> times.
If I remove the -q I simply get a bounce back with the following header:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

Hmmm, not sure then. I would make sure you don't have any special characters. If I copy your script and test it locally, it works just fine.
Is that the ACTUAL final command:
pipe to |/home5/nadlani1/public_ht
...or are you changing it for the purposes of posting here?

Hi Gr8gonzo,

My Script is straight forward ..
To check email piping is working or not ..
#!/usr/php/53/usr/bin/php -q
<?php
$final="It worked perfectly";
$fdw = fopen("/home5/nadlani1/pub
fwrite($fdw, $final);
fclose($fdw);
?>
Using wring some text to text file to see file is executing properly or not..

Does it work when you execute it from the command line?
For example:
echo "Hello world" |/home5/nadlani1/public_ht
Also, I'm noticing that your latest bit of code uses a different PHP path for the binary...

Hi Gr8gonzo,
Path is fine no issues with path ::
Only problem with this first line ::
#!/usr/bin/php -q
Error in argument 1, char 3: option not found
Usage: php [-q] [-h] [-s] [-v] [-i] [-f <file>]
php <file> [args...]

This seems to show that you have a closing PHP tag. That is AntiPHPractice #13. Try removing it - there may be invisible whitespace after it and that may be enough to cause the bounce.

Hi Ray_Paseur,
I tried the way u said .. But it is not working.
The thing is that It is not executing the script :: I think
Any other ways to check Script executing perfectly from Command Line Or not
I tried this way :: echo "Hello world" |/home5/nadlani1/public_ht
getting same error.

Is this installed at a professional hosting company? Do you have cPanel?
If you install the script I posted above (and make the obvious change on line 60) it will send you something when it gets executed.

Hi Ray_Paseur & Gr8gonzo,
Thanks for your support.
I fixed the issue :;
While adding Forwarders from Cpanel :: added Pipe like this
|/usr/bin/php -q /home5/nadlani1/public_htm
"/usr/bin/php -q" part should match to the first line of parsing.php page .. Now it executed perfectly.
Thanks

Strange. It sounds like it was treating your PHP script as if it were a list of commands rather than a PHP script itself. But in most scenarios, that wouldn't happen - if you didn't have executable permissions on the file, then it would just throw an error about permissions, not try to run the file as if it were a bash script or something...
Glad it works now, though.

I don't think you want to have this script in the web root (public_html) directory. Just a thought...
ASKER
mmm...why?
You would reduce the risk of accidental (unwanted) execution. As long as you have a "dummy" script that does not change the data model, it's no problem. But presumably some day the pipe script will be doing something meaningful -- perhaps storing data, or making data base updates. If you do not have a public URL, you add a little better security. Without the URL, the chances that the script was started by something other than an email are greatly reduced. But if the script has a URL and someone discovers it, your applications becomes a target-rich environment for all kinds of mischief.
