Yowsup: Send message with PHP

[Mokiller]

Hey, guys! I tried to develop a code in PHP to send the messages with PHP, it's a simple code. It sends the command to my VPS to try to send the message but it did not work, both the yowsup and the php code are in my VPS. Here is the code.

<?php $output = shell_exec('yowsup-cli demos -d -s 557788759298 "Menssage" -c /home/workspace/config.conf'); echo "<pre>$output</pre>"; ?>

Here is the code return.

yowsup-cli v2.0.15
yowsup v2.5.2

As for the shell_exec permissions, I think everything is ok because I have tested some commands and it worked.

[jlguardi]

1. Add debug logs to your question (-d flag to enable it)
2. I suppose that you are running php from apache so you are using www-data user to execute yowsup-cli. So, It is using its home to get the encryption database.

[habbim]

First of all validate which user is running PHP and save in the home of the user used by PHP the .yowsup folder.
I at least use these two functions for sending:

function runCommand($bin, $command = '', $force = true){
$stream = null;
$bin .= $force ? ' 2>&1' : '';

    $descriptorSpec = array
    (
        0 => array('pipe', 'r'),
        1 => array('pipe', 'w')
    );

    $process = proc_open($bin, $descriptorSpec, $pipes);

    if (is_resource($process))
    {
        fwrite($pipes[0], $command);
        fclose($pipes[0]);

        $stream = stream_get_contents($pipes[1]);
        fclose($pipes[1]);

        proc_close($process);
    }

    return trim($stream);
}
function sendWhatsapp($phone,$msj){
    $send = $this->runCommand('yowsup-cli demos --login phonesend:keysend -s '.$phone.' "'.$msj."');
    if(explode(':',$send)[2] == 'Message sent'){
        return true;
    }else{
        return false;
    }
}
