How to run built-in PHP 5.4 webserver from PHP file?

Question

I am using built in php webserver and here is code i have written in my php file but not working.

exec("php -S localhost:8000 -t /home/test/");

Is there anything wrong?

Thanks

yeah path is absolute and right because if i execute same command from terminal,its working but not from php file — Bhumi Shah, May 27 '16 at 10:09
Works for me, do `exec("php -S localhost:8000 -t /home/test/ 2>&1");` and see if you have errors — Stan, May 27 '16 at 10:09
No error, but when i try to load localhost:8000 in browser,not loading content from folder. — Bhumi Shah, May 27 '16 at 10:09
@Stan: if i add 2>&1,it's working but stop the other process of that file and stick to display this command execution. — Bhumi Shah, May 27 '16 at 10:17
@Stan: i don't want to dispaly process performed by this command,is there anyway? — Bhumi Shah, May 27 '16 at 10:42

Try to run:

$lines = system("php -S localhost:8000 -t /home/test/", $output);
var_dump($output, $lines);

Then You should see what is wrong.
