Help with a socket script execution

[steven.rojas@gmail.com]

I have a chat application based on PHP and Flash, I know that is
necessary execute the socket server script from the console (#!/usr/
local/bin/php -q), but my problem is that I don't have SSH access to
the server where I have to deploy the application (a godaddy server).
Locally I could run the script even in my browser and the chat works
fine, but if I run the script in the server from the browser I
couldn't connect to it. Is there a way to run my socket script without
having SSH access to the server?

Meet your new friend, php.net/exec .

And, if you're out of luck (i.e. the server runs with safe_mode on), you can
always rely on the (very) dirty trick of using a "Connection : close" HTTP
request, along with some PHP magic so the script doesn't die when the HTTP
connection is actually closed. I suggest you to do some research about
that.

I have luck!! my server is not compiled with safe_mode off... could
you give me a few details about how to use exec command? This command
only execute something and finish it execution or wait until the
command finish? I try with the following doesn't work:
<?php
$command = $APP_PATH . "/controllers/chat.php";
exec($command);
echo("done...") ;
?>

when I execute the script, the browser never finished the script I
couldn't see "done..."

That means your chat.php script didn't complete before you PHP timeout
value.

Is this script supposed to be running all the time?
