I am using PHP codeigniter on ubuntu where I want to open specific link in chrome browser. like on button click "https://stackoverflow.com/" will open in chrome browser. I can open it from terminal using below command

chromium-browser https://stackoverflow.com

but it do not run from PHP 

exec("chromium-browser https://stackoverflow.com");

I can use file_get_contents but I can not restrict chrome browser only.

I think that this is impossible. Tou try execute command from server (PHP) for open a program to the client (browser). You must try it in javascript.
