Running Artisan Command from laravel 4.2 Controller

Question

I am trying to execute some custom artisan command from controller like

Artisan::call('php artisan MyCustomCommand');

but it works fine when I execute

php artisan MuCustomCommand from CLI.

I have registered command in app/start/artisan.php. Even Artisan::call('php artisan --help'); is not working.

Answer 1

You should run artisan command like this from your controller . Example :

 Artisan::call('migrate:install');

So Instead of doing Artisan::call('php artisan MyCustomCommand');

You should do

Artisan::call('MyCustomCommand');

Here is the documentation

Hope it helps :)
