#32435 [NEW]: Add '-run' option to php command line (like java -jar)

From: sam_bravard at yahoo dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.0.3 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Add '-run' option to php command line (like java -jar) Description: ------------ Seems to me it would be great if the php5 command line tool ('php') had an option to run a static main() method of a specified class just like java does: eg: php -run TTester TObject.php [args] Which would call the main() in TTester: TObjectToTest.php: class TObjectToTest { // ... class that we'll want to test } class TTester { public static main($args) { // execute tests on TObjectToTest } } This would be particularly good for making it easy to bundle and run tests on each individual php file.
