Running a PHP file out of the browser

Question

I am running a php file from MATLAB using these commands

url = 'http://www.mathworks.com';
[stat,h] = web(url);
close(h);

I was wonder that is there any possibility to run PHP files without opening browser or running on the browser in some way hidden to the user.

Answer 1

Yes, write your php code in a file:

example.php :

<?php
echo "Hello world"
?>

Then in your MATLAB write:

php_commandline = '"path/to/php/binary" example.php';
[status, result] = system(php_commandline);

I hope this helps
