.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBPHP\fP is a widely\-used general\-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for
|
|
Web development and can be embedded into HTML. This is the command line interface
|
|
that enables you to do the following:
|
|
.P
|
|
You can parse and execute files by using parameter \-f followed by the name of the
|
|
.IR file
|
|
to be executed.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Using parameter \-r you can directly execute PHP
|
|
.IR code
|
|
simply as you would do inside a
|
|
.B \.php
|
|
file when using the
|
|
.B eval()
|
|
function.
|
|
.LP
|
|
It is also possible to process the standard input line by line using either
|
|
the parameter \-R or \-F. In this mode each separate input line causes the
|
|
.IR code
|
|
specified by \-R or the
|
|
.IR file
|
|
specified by \-F to be executed.
|
|
You can access the input line by \fB$argn\fP. While processing the input lines
|
|
.B $argi
|
|
contains the number of the actual line being processed. Further more
|
|
the parameters \-B and \-E can be used to execute
|
|
.IR code
|
|
(see \-r) before and
|
|
after all input lines have been processed respectively. Notice that the
|
|
input is read from
|
|
.B STDIN
|
|
and therefore reading from
|
|
.B STDIN
|
|
explicitly changes the next input line or skips input lines.
|
|
.LP
|
|
PHP also contains an built-in web server for application development purpose. By using the \-S option where
|
|
.B addr:port
|
|
point to a local address and port PHP will listen to HTTP requests on that address and port and serve files from the current working directory or the
|
|
.B docroot
|
|
passed by the \-t option.
|
|
.LP
|
|
If a PHP file is provided to the command line when the
|
|
built-in web server is used, it will be used as the router script. This script
|
|
will be started at each HTTP request. The script output is returned to the
|
|
browser, unless the router script returns the
|
|
.B false
|
|
value. If so, the built-in server falls back to the default behaviour, returning
|
|
the requested resource as-is by looking up the files relative to the document
|
|
root specified by the \-t option, if provided.
|
|
.LP
|
|
If none of \-r \-f \-B \-R \-F \-E or \-S is present but a single parameter is given
|
|
then this parameter is taken as the filename to parse and execute (same as
|
|
with \-f). If no parameter is present then the standard input is read and
|
|
executed.

.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
\fIphp \-r 'echo "Hello World\\n";'\fP
|
|
This command simply writes the text "Hello World" to standard out.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIphp \-r 'print_r(gd_info());'\fP
|
|
This shows the configuration of your gd extension. You can use this
|
|
to easily check which image formats you can use. If you have any
|
|
dynamic modules you may want to use the same ini file that php uses
|
|
when executed from your webserver. There are more extensions which
|
|
have such a function. For dba use:
|
|
.RS
|
|
\fIphp \-r 'print_r(dba_handlers(1));'\fP
|
|
.RE
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIphp \-R 'echo strip_tags($argn)."\\n";'\fP
|
|
This PHP command strips off the HTML tags line by line and outputs the
|
|
result. To see how it works you can first look at the following PHP command
|
|
\'\fIphp \-d html_errors=1 \-i\fP\' which uses PHP to output HTML formatted
|
|
configuration information. If you then combine those two
|
|
\'\fIphp \.\.\.|php \.\.\.\fP\' you'll see what happens.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIphp \-E 'echo "Lines: $argi\\n";'\fP
|
|
Using this PHP command you can count the lines being input.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIphp \-R '@$l+=count(file($argn));' \-E 'echo "Lines:$l\\n";'\fP
|
|
In this example PHP expects each input line being a file. It counts all lines
|
|
of the files specified by each input line and shows the summarized result.
|
|
You may combine this with tools like find and change the php scriptlet.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIphp \-R 'echo "$argn\\n"; fgets(STDIN);'\fP
|
|
Since you have access to STDIN from within \-B \-R \-F and \-E you can skip
|
|
certain input lines with your code. But note that in such cases $argi only
|
|
counts the lines being processed by php itself. Having read this you will
|
|
guess what the above program does: skipping every second input line.
|
|
.SH TIPS
|
|
You can use a shebang line to automatically invoke php
|
|
from scripts. Only the CLI version of PHP will ignore
|
|
such a first line as shown below:

|

|
|
