Run command twice in a script using shell_exec()

Question

I have this:

<?php shell_exec('some_command') ?>;

How can I run 'some_command' more than once?

I'm a code neat freak, calling them more than once kind of an eyesore to me.

Answer 1

Put the command twice in the argument:

<?php shell_exec('some_command; some_command'); ?>

Or call shell_exec twice:

<?php shell_exec('some_command'); shell_exec('some_command'); ?>
