This is the best way I found to automatically run multiple commands or commands that might take longer then expected.  NOTE: this assumes that no where in the output is there the text '[end]' otherwise the function will end prematurely.  Hope this helps people.



<?php

$ip = 'ip_address';

$user = 'username';

$pass = 'password';



$connection = ssh2_connect($ip);

ssh2_auth_password($connection,$user,$pass);

$shell = ssh2_shell($connection,"bash");



//Trick is in the start and end echos which can be executed in both *nix and windows systems. 

//Do add 'cmd /C' to the start of $cmd if on a windows system.

$cmd = "echo '[start]';your commands here;echo '[end]'";

$output = user_exec($shell,$cmd);



fclose($shell);



function user_exec($shell,$cmd) {

  fwrite($shell,$cmd . "\n");

  $output = "";

  $start = false;

  $start_time = time();

  $max_time = 2; //time in seconds

  while(((time()-$start_time) < $max_time)) {

    $line = fgets($shell);

    if(!strstr($line,$cmd)) {

      if(preg_match('/\[start\]/',$line)) {

        $start = true;

      }elseif(preg_match('/\[end\]/',$line)) {

        return $output;

      }elseif($start){

        $output[] = $line;

      }

    }

  }

}



?>
