linux - Unable to run shell script file using PHP

Question

Hi I am unable to run the .sh file using my php code.

 Files:  index.php and .sh files are in the same directory.

What I have tried:

 echo shell_exec('sh shell_file.sh'); //Did not execute
 echo shell_exec('shell_file.sh'); //Did not execute
 echo exec('shell_file.sh'); //Did not execute

But when I run the shell_file.sh file manually it does execute.

Try like this:

What you need to do is call the file with a program. Call it with bash or sh as suggested in the comment:

echo shell_exec('sh /shell_file.sh');

Another option could be:

$contents = file_get_contents('/shell_file.sh');
echo shell_exec($contents);

I think the first option would be better however.
