How to batch execute PHP scripts from one PHP script?

I have a series of PHP scripts that I want to run in a particular order. I tried using

<?php
    exec('file1.php');
    exec('file2.php');
    exec('file3.php');
?>

to accomplish this, but just got a series of errors. If I run them from the command line, they all work fine. How to fix this problem?

You can run it from the command line from your scripts, assuming you have root access.

Example:

<?php
    system("php -f path/to/your/script/file1.php");
    system("php -f path/to/your/script/file2.php");
    system("php -f path/to/your/script/file3.php");
?>

I haven't tested it, but it should work :)

If the state of each script is well isolated (i.e. not clashing function/class names and global variables), you can just include each of them in turn.

include("file1.php");
include("file2.php");
...

This will also ensure you don't spin up multiple PHP interpreters.

system('php file1.php')

Or, just use a shell script if on *nix.
