PHP using ssh2_exec to execute script with parameters from query

I am trying to execute a script from a server, the parameter is retrieved from MySQL query and stored into $test is there a way to use this as a parameter for my script? I have a script stored in a parameter as well $script

<?php

include("db.php");  
$user = 'user';
$password = 'pwd';

$script = '/my/path/to/script/script.sh';

...

$testResult = mysqli_query($dbConnection, $queryNextTest);
$test = $testResult->fetch_object()->test_script; //this is my parameter obtained from query

$stream = ssh2_exec($connection, $script); //how can I use test as my paramter to execute the 

?>

So what I am looking for is something like this: $stream = ssh2_exec($connection, '/my/path/to/script/script.sh $test'); but the $test cannot be inside the quotes.

Solution

  • You should change the quote to double and use curly bracket to express your variable like this:

    $stream = ssh2_exec($connection, "{$script} {$test}");

    Or even without curly braces like this:

    $stream = ssh2_exec($connection, "$script $test");
