I have the following problem : in a php script, I have to launch a first script, then a second one. The second one must not start before the first one has finished.
Problem : the two scripts are long-running (can take up to some hours). So, if I use file_get_contents on each script url, I can make the first one run (via set_time_limit 0), but the file_get_contents times out, so I have an error, and the second one never runs.
Note : those scripts run on localhost on a linux machine, on which I am admin. I can do whatever I need to make this work.
Thanks
Execute them via command line, and chain them with &&, so the second one will fire only if the first has finished correctly
php script1 && php script2
Or chain with ; if you just want the second to trigger after the first, regardless of exit status
php script1; php script2
