Question

I am trying to use a proc_open() in my php script to call and execute another php script. The following is the code:

$descriptors = array(
 0 => array("pipe","r"),
 1 => array("pipe","w"),
 2 => array("file","./error_log.txt","a")
) ;
$cwd="./";
$process=proc_open('php reversegame.php &', $descriptors,$pipes,$cwd); 
if (is_resource($process)) {
  $return_value = proc_close($process);
}

This writes the following error in the error_log.txt

PHP: syntax error, unexpected ‘&’ in /etc/php5/cli/php.ini on line 107

I am new to proc_open, and still trying to get a grasp on the usage of this function. I am actually trying to execute this php script simultaneously while running another script!

I am also faced this error. But this error should not block your script to work. This error comes due to using & operator in INI file (like using error_reporting E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE).
