PHP: shell_exec multiple commands

Question

So I am attempting to create list of modified files between two git commands:

shell_exec("
  git diff --name-only $remoteCommitId $localCommitId > diff &&
  SET /p DIFF=<diff &&
  git archive --output=$zipName HEAD %DIFF%
");

However, no zip file is created I also tried separating commands with & and ;. If a run these commands in batch file, everything works.

I am on windows and the reason why I am doing it that way is here.

I just want to create zip file between two git commits via shell_exec so any other method which works via shell_exec is also welcome.

Update

If I run these commands directly on console:

git diff --name-only 207b606c270fc14a7161647c2fbe8f9a7d8e05a1 17dcc2233678df4ce86c8713e0349d68e45c3c96 > diff&& SET /p DIFF=<diff&& git archive --output=deployment.zip HEAD %DIFF%

It does create deployment.zip file but problem is that deployment.zip file only contains single root path file in it not ones from other folder (vendor in this case):

Here is diff file:

composer.json
vendor/anlutro/l4-settings/.gitignore
vendor/anlutro/l4-settings/.travis.yml
vendor/anlutro/l4-settings/CONTRIBUTING.md
vendor/anlutro/l4-settings/LICENSE
vendor/anlutro/l4-settings/README.md
vendor/anlutro/l4-settings/composer.json
vendor/anlutro/l4-settings/phpunit.xml
vendor/anlutro/l4-settings/src/ArrayUtil.php
vendor/anlutro/l4-settings/src/DatabaseSettingStore.php
vendor/anlutro/l4-settings/src/Facade.php
vendor/anlutro/l4-settings/src/JsonSettingStore.php
vendor/anlutro/l4-settings/src/MemorySettingStore.php

But deployment.zip file only contains composer.json file.

CA you try ...> diff&& set... diff&& git ...: ie, no space after the last character of one command, and its separator &&. I just want to be sure you are no create diff instead of diff — VonC

Are you sure all your commands are succeeding? You tagged this with bash but some of those are windows cmd commands/syntax, not bash — Eric Renouf

@EricRenouf: Yes when i run individually/directly on console, I don't see any errors but even with this method it only generates deployment file with single composer.json file in it, not all files. Please see updated question. — dev02

Can you try SET /p "DIFF=<diff" in order to preserve the newlines? — VonC

Try instead:

 shell_exec("cmd /C \"ascript.bat\"");

with ascript.bat a script which list all the necessary commands.
See "how not to open a Cmd window when running a batch file"
