Where does echo end up when a php script is executed from a shell script?

Question

I have a php script that I execute from a .sh file, and have some echoes in it.

if I run the script from the terminal, I can see all the output, but where does it go when it is running in the background?

Is it getting logged somewhere?

To clarify: I do not care about the output I just want to know if it goes away, or getting stored somewhere somehow.

Thanks.

How do you start the script so that it runs in the background to begin with? Is it from a cronjob, do you use the & operator of your shell, or something totally different? — s1lv3r, Feb 01 '17 at 17:11

In short, because your PHP CLI command is executed within your shell script, the output is sent to the STDOUT and STDERR output streams.

Where the output is sent from there depends on how your script is invoked, for example on a standard terminal the output is sent to the terminal itself.
