All file relevant variables are now available by $_SERVER. PHP_SELF filename or '-' for stdin SCRIPT_NAME filename or '-' for stdin SCRIPT_FILENAME filename or '' for stdin PATH_TRANSLATED or '' for stdin DOCUMENT_ROOT allways '' Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-03 09:21:48] helly@php.net But it would make sense AND the incase of CLI why not treat SHELL as SERVER? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-30 16:01:49] rasmus@php.net Would be a bit odd to have any $_SERVER variables in the cli version as there is no server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-30 15:59:22] cmv@php.net With the CLI version, the only way to access the script name is through: $_SERVER['argv'][0] In 4.2.2, $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is set, but empty. In 4.3.0-dev, it's not even set. I don't know which of $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] or $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] would be more appropriate, but I think setting either of those to the script name would be more intuitive, and might make porting web-based scripts to CLI-based scripts easier. - Colin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18657&edit=1
