Different include and require Statements

In PHP, you can insert the content of one PHP file into another PHP file before the server executes it.

The include and require statements are used to insert useful codes written in other files, in the flow of execution.

Include and require are identical, except upon failure:

• require will produce a fatal error (E_COMPILE_ERROR) and stop the script
• include will only produce a warning (E_WARNING) and the script will continue

So, if you want the execution to go on and show users the output, even if the include file is missing, use include. Otherwise, in case of FrameWork, CMS or a complex PHP application coding, always use require to include a key file to the flow of execution. This will help avoid compromising your application's security and integrity, just in-case one key file is accidentally missing.

Including files saves a lot of work. This means that you can create a standard header, footer, or menu file for all your web pages. Then, when the header needs to be updated, you can only update the header include file.

Syntax

include 'filename';

or

require 'filename';

Running DBus in Crontab

Just create an sh file to execute your script. example chat.sh. See below:

#!/bin/bash
xhost +
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=$(cat /home/iben/.dbus/session-bus/f49d2a1187871a80e2a3bb640000000a-0|grep unix|cut -d= -f2-4)

ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep chat.php
# if not found - equals to 1, start it
if [ $? -eq 1 ]
then
/usr/bin/php /home/iben/www/tes/dbus/chat.php&
else
echo "eq 0 - chat.php found - do nothing"
fi
Note:
xhost + is required

export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=$(cat /home/iben/.dbus/session-bus/f49d2a1187871a80e2a3bb640000000a-0|grep unix|cut -d= -f2-4) ==> is required to inform cron of session location.
f49d2a1187871a80e2a3bb640000000a-0 ==> is a long name that is different with your. Usually have pattern like *a-0, a file in directory /home/username/dbus/sessiom-bus/*a-0. Find your.

Sintax after it is your own script. Here I use script to check existing process. if not exist then run the php script. Else don't do anything.

chat.php is a script that use DBus class.

Simply add to cron like this:
* * * * * sh /home/iben/www/tes/dbus/chat.sh > /home/iben/www/tes/dbus/chat.log

It will check process every minute. It better than use 'php flock'.
