#20012 [Com]: --enable-cli doesn't seem to work.

ID: 20012 Comment by: amir@abiri-e.com Reported By: amir@abiri-e.com Status: Closed Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Operating System: Linux Redhat-7.2 PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: And the original php binary that is complied - I don't need it ? I mean I want cli only when it comes to command line, so I can remove the php binary that make install puts in my path without fear of interfering with the php apache module's work ? Do I have to use --diable-cgi to get the cli behave exactly like the doc describes it ? or is it enough to use the cli binary ? (I have already noticed that implicit_flush isn't on by default) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-21 09:49:22] edink@php.net CLI was marked experimental in 4.2.x and is therefor not installed with "make install". You'll have to do that manually by copying sapi/cli/php from your PHP build dir to some directory in the path (/usr/bin for example). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-21 09:49:15] sander@php.net The cli ends up in ./sapi/cli/php in your sourcedir and gets installed to (I think) /usr/local/bin/php. It gets installed _together_ with another SAPI, like CGI. 4.3.0 has a --disable-cgi switch so you can install the CLI alone. Just use 4.3.0 for full CLI support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-21 09:41:49] amir@abiri-e.com I read about the new cli feature and wanted to try it out. I read that it isn't on by default in versions prior to 4.3.0, so I compiled the latest version 4.2.3 (this has nothing to do with this) and added --enable-cli. The functionality described in http://www.php.net/manual/en/html/features.commandline.php doesn't apply, plus nothing in the complition proccess seems to imply any notice to the switch, i.e I would expect the remark about the "You are compiling the CGI version of PHP without any redirection..." to not show up, or at least have some different syntax, plus perhaps some warning about cli being still in it's experimental stage. All and all it seems that eighter I missed something (although I read the docs again and again and haven't found anything but --enable-cli) or that the complition process somehow "skipped" that switch in some way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20012&edit=1
