Question

I want to execute a php-script from php that will use different constants and different versions of classes that are already defined.

Is there a sandbox php_module where i could just:

sandbox('script.php'); // run in a new php environment 

instead of

include('script.php'); // run in the same environment 

Or is proc_open() the only option?

PS: The script isn’t accessible through the web, so fopen(‘http://host/script.php‘) is not an option.

There is runkit, but you may find it simpler to just call the script over the command line (Use shell_exec), if you don’t need any interaction between the master and child processes.
