Run multiple Python scripts simultaneously from PHP

Question

I know if I want to run multiple Python scripts simultaneously I can knock up a bash file that looks like this;

#!/bin/bash
python pr1.py & 
python pr2.py &
python now.py &
python loader.py &

But what if I want to do the same thing directly from PHP? It seems clunky to call a bash script from PHP which then runs the Python scripts.

Well, as far as that goes, it seems clunky to call a Python script from PHP, but you could try the shell_exec() function or execution operator.

Sure but how can I use shell_exec() to call multiple scripts simultaneously? – manners Feb 06 '17 at 14:54
