Help Syntax Shell-Script

Hi Guys,

i�ve a question ... but it�s a litte bit tricky:

i�ve a 3 php-scripts which run�s via cron at night. These script reads an xml-file a writes it in an MySQL-DB.
I named them (for example here ) Script1 - Script3. The XML-Files i named xml1 - xml3.

Now, i�ve build a Batch-file, which will start the php-scripts an should write success or error to a log-file ...

And here�s my problem:

When Script1 starts, it reads xml1 - when xml1 is alright, script1 runs till the end and there�s no output - "echo $?" returns with "0"

Now, (error-example) when Script1 starts, it reads xml1 - when xml1 is missing or corrupt, script1 runs till the end too and there�s an output called "Can /srv/www/htdocs/_source/xml-file not read."
This is an order at the end of script1 (and script 2 & 3 of course)
When i type "echo $?" it returns "0", too.

And here�s my second problem:
my logfile should looks like this:

"Script1 was read - success" (-> when script1 ends with no errors, xml-is fine)

"Script1 was read - error" - Can /srv/www/htdocs/_source/xml-file not read." (-> when script1 ends with errors.)

Can somebody help me with the syntax to write my batch-file:
Here�s are my first steps/trials ...

#! /bin/sh
# Description
cd /srv/www/htdocs/import (here are the 3 scripts)

/usr/bin/php5 script1.php;

if [ $ ... don�t know]
then
echo ' Script1 was read - success' ;
else
echo ' Script1 was read - error' - Can /srv/www/htdocs/ ... ' ;

fi;
... and so on till Script3

Many Thanks.
Regards,
Michael

PS:
Hope, my explanations are plausible. If not, feel free to ask ...

BBDB-SRV.PL(1)						      General Commands Manual						    BBDB-SRV.PL(1)

NAME

       bbdb-srv - Converts Mail-Headers to an Emacs-Lisp String.

SYNOPSIS

       echo Some Headers | bbdb-srv

DESCRIPTION

       This  script  reads  a block of message headers on stdin, and converts them to an emacs-lisp string (quoting  all dangerous characters) and
       then uses the `gnudoit' program to cause a running Emacs process to invoke the `bbdb-srv' function with that string.

       This has the effect of causing the running Emacs to display the BBDB record corresponding to these headers.

       See the Emacs side of things in bbdb-srv.el for more info.

       A trivial application of this is the shell command:

	  echo 'From: Jamie Zawinski <jwz@netscape.com>' | bbdb-srv.perl

       which will cause the corresponding record to be displayed.  A more interesting application of this is:

	  setenv NS_MSG_DISPLAY_HOOK bbdb-srv.perl

       which will hook BBDB up to Mozilla (Unix Netscape Mail and Netscape News versions 3.0b2 and later only.)
