Stopping and Starting Apache Using PHP (!)
- by Abs
Hello all,
I have two problems which are related.
1) I have a batch file that contains this:
net stop wampapache
net start wampapache
Which tries to stop and start my wamp server. When I double click the stop.bat file with the above it works successfully. When I try to run that from my PHP script, it stops the server but doesn't start it fully which I am guessing is because Apache is waiting for that PHP process to exit?
function php_kill(){
exec('stop.bat', $output = array(), $return);
return $return;
}
2) Is there a way to restart my webserver (apache) whilst keeping session variables that PHP needs available?
Thanks all
