Question

I want to run three php scripts one after another from one file. all the functions are already defined in each of the files so that when they are called upon (aka run) they will do things.
I thought the following code would run all 3 but it stops right after the first file is finished running. does anyone know why?

Thanks

<?
error_reporting(E_ALL);ini_set('display_errors', 1);

require_once ("file1.php");
require_once ("file2.php");
require_once ("file3.php");
?>

EDIT WITH LAST FUNCTION RUN BEFORE END OF SCRIPT

function sendPush ($date)
 {

$username='xxxx';
$password='xxxxx';
$database='xxxxx';

$device="";

$db= new mysqli('localhost', $username, $password, $database);

if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
    echo 'Error: Could not connect';
    //exit;

}


$query = "SELECT * FROM `DataTokens`";


$result = $db->query($query);
if ($result) {
    $num_results = $result->num_rows;

while($row = $result->fetch_assoc())
{

        if (!$row)
        {
            echo "No Token, insert into database";


        }


    $device= $row['Number'];


        // Put your device token here (without spaces):
        $deviceToken = $device;

        // Put your private key's passphrase here:
        $passphrase = 'XXXXXX';

        // Put your alert message here:
        $message = 'This is a test and its working';

        $i=1;
        $number= $i++;


        $ctx = stream_context_create();
        stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'local_cert', 'ck.pem');
        stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'passphrase', $passphrase);

        // Open a connection to the APNS server
        $fp = stream_socket_client(
            'ssl://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195', $err,
            $errstr, 60, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT|STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT, $ctx);

        if (!$fp)
            exit("Failed to connect: $err $errstr" . PHP_EOL);

        echo 'Connected to APNS' . PHP_EOL;

        // Create the payload body
        $body['aps'] = array(
            'alert' => $message,
            'sound' => 'default',
            'badge' => +1,
            'loc-key' => 'australia1'
            );


        // Encode the payload as JSON
        $payload = json_encode($body);

        // Build the binary notification
        $msg = chr(0) . pack('n', 32) . pack('H*', $deviceToken) . pack('n', strlen($payload)) . $payload;

        // Send it to the server
        $result = fwrite($fp, $msg, strlen($msg));

        if (!$result)
            echo 'Message not delivered' . PHP_EOL;
        else
            echo 'Message successfully delivered' . PHP_EOL;

        // Close the connection to the server
        fclose($fp);
    }

        }

New Code

replaced

  $result = $db->query($query);
if ($result) {
    $num_results = $result->num_rows;

with

//$result = $db->query($query);
if ($result = $db->query($query)) {

echo "we have a problem";

}

else
{

 $num_results = $result->num_rows;

while($row = $result->fetch_assoc())
{

         //blah blah
    }

    }

Use echo statements at different parts of your code to figure out where control is being lost or where the program is exiting.

Make sure whenever you have an assignment to a variable from a command that could throw an exception, to catch the exception if it occurs, or do something with it. Or at least verify for non-null ness (!is_null()) before using that object.
