[RESOLVED] PHP CLI - Testing if I have one????

[NoteMe]

This is so no my area...but I was toled to do these two steps.

f) PHP compiled as Apache module, including MySQL support.
Tested mainly with PHP version 4.3.0 and above. (Note that if
you are compiling mod_php from source, it is good to compile
it against the same MySQL client library as mod_python, so
that the two Apache modules are using the same MySQL client
library. We saw Apache/PHP/Python problems in the past when
they weren't.)
<http://www.php.net/>

g) PHP compiled as a standalone command-line executable (CLI)
(in addition to Apache module) is required, too. As of PHP
4.3.0 you'll obtain the CLI executable by default, so you
don't have to compile it separately. Note that PHP CLI should
be compiled with the process control support (--enable-pcntl)
and the compression library (--with-zlib).
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.commandline.php>
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pcntl.php>

I first did the first one (at least I think), and I made a script like this:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

and the PHP thingy came up. So I guess that is working. But I am not 100% sure how to test the second thingy. I didn't do anything more, because I installed PHP 4.4, so I am not sure if I even need to do anything more. I wrote this little thing:

<?php
echo exec('whoami');
?>

And it outputted "nobody". Does that mean that I have it all up and running. Or is there an other test I should try just to be sure?

Thanks

Well done, you now have working PHP DSO module

[NoteMe]

woohoo....but am I sure that I have a compiled CLI too?

You should have the php cli in the source directory (after compilation) in a sub directory called CLI. You can then copy it to /usr/local/bin and you can runs scripts from the command line

Hmmm...what? I have this in the cli folder:

Is it the "php" file? I tried to run it, and then nothing happend..not even sure how to get out of it..

And how is it possible to run PHP code in a console window? It can't show images and so on..


Sample run..

PCDSUSI02:/home/noteme/mydoc/apps/php-4.4.0/sapi/cli# php

echo 'hello'

^[
exit
logout
boooooo
;

echo "hello";
<?php echo "hello"; >

And I have no idea how to get out of this, except closing the console window...

Type Control-D. PHP takes a file as input and Control-D simulates EOF on a UNIX computer.

After copying the binary called php to a directory in the system path i.e: /usr/local/root you can execute PHP scripts in one of two ways:

#php /path/to/file.php

Or add the following line to the top of your PHP script and make it execuatable:

#!/usr/local/bin/php

w00t...I all ready tried Ctr+D, that is what I am using for the Python Intepreter...guess I must have pressed the wrong key..I should really try to pay attention to what I press..


Thanks a bunch..
