php pcntl_exec(),PHP pcntl_exec 用法 手册 | 示例代码

The pcntl_exec() function works exactly like the standard (unix-style) exec() function.  It differs from the regular PHP exec() function in that the process calling the pcntl_exec() is replaced with the process that gets called.  This is the ideal method for creating children.  In a simple example (that does no error checking):

switch (pcntl_fork()) {

case 0:

$cmd = "/path/to/command";

$args = array("arg1", "arg2");

pcntl_exec($cmd, $args);

// the child will only reach this point on exec failure,

// because execution shifts to the pcntl_exec()ed command

exit(0);

default:

break;

}

// parent continues

echo "I am the parent";

since this is not being executed through a shell, you must provide the exact path from the filesystem root.  Look at the execve() man page for more information.
