Why exec () does not execute with .php

Question

Even trying to run asynchronously file.php from one.php, and even so to pass the parameter $ user_id. But this query does not work:

exec("file.php $user_id > /dev/null 2>/dev/null &");

Although even like this exec("file.php") does not work. What could be the problem?

PS: file.php and one.php are in the same directory (not the root), and the hoster says that the feature is on ..

file.php and one.php are in the same directory (not the root) - and this does not guarantee that the OS will search for file.php in the same directory, calculate and use the absolute path.

I suppose the reason is that php is not a program. You need to call the php interpreter, passing it the name of the file with the script as an argument.
