Req #34017 [Opn->Ana]: CLI php.exe should allow HTML with phpinfo()

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34017&edit=1 ID: 34017 Updated by: kalle@php.net Reported by: csaba at alum dot mit dot edu Summary: CLI php.exe should allow HTML with phpinfo() -Status: Open +Status: Analyzed Type: Feature/Change Request Package: PHP options/info functions Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.1.0b3 Block user comment: N Private report: N Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-08-23 00:49:30] kalle@php.net This is a plain limitation within the SAPI struct, that sets phpinfo_as_text to 1 for some SAPIs and there is no way to directly control it. I don't think we should let allow userland to change this. What you can do is to invoke php-cgi.exe and strip the headers and then put the output in a HTML file. You can do something like (not tested): $tmp = tmpfile(); file_put_contents($tmp, '<?php phpinfo(); ?>'); $phpinfo = php-cgi -q "$tmp"; fclose($fmp); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-06 13:52:49] csaba at alum dot mit dot edu Description: ------------ Using CLI php.exe or php-win.exe on Windows, it is a perfectly reasonable thing to use COM to bring up Internet Explorer. In fact, it makes a lot of sense to use it strictly as a graphical output (or I/O) mechanism. Unfortunately, phpinfo() from these versions of php does not allow the option of outputting with HTML. Since COM is now supported in PHP5, it seems that wanting CLI output of phpinfo() to go to a browser will become more common. I would therefore like to suggest that either: (1) phpinfo() respect the html_errors setting or (2) phpinfo() take a second, optional argument, which, if supplied and non false, would lead to phpinfo() outputting HTML for CLI php and withholding the HTML for non CLI php. Thanks, Csaba Gabor from Vienna Note. Running the attached code with php-cgi.exe will illustrate what I would like: formatted phpinfo() appearing in IE. But I'd like it to work with php.exe and php-win.exe, too. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php // bring up IE (from CLI php.exe) $ie = new COM("InternetExplorer.Application"); $ie->Navigate("about:blank"); $ie->visible = true; // try to get formatted phpinfo(); ini_set("html_errors", "1"); ob_start(); phpinfo(); $phpinfo = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); // output it to IE $ie->Document->Write($phpinfo); ?> Expected result: ---------------- I would expect to get formatted phpinfo() with the supplied code example, but I only get raw phpinfo(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34017&edit=1
