Re: cli version and shell useability

In addition to Markus Fischer: Does the CLI version has the ability to execute code without <? and ?>. Assuming "-s --" as solution. -s to skip <? and -- instead of -p from Markus Fisher (other cmd utils like awk use -- too). This would allow: php -s -- 'echo "hello world";' From my point of view both are necessary to make php a widely accepted shell script language. Also i would appreciate --help to show up with version and supported switches. marcus to make At 09:39 05.03.2002, Markus Fischer wrote:

    Is there a way to execute code from the command line AND process
    stdin/stdout without using an external file with php code?

    Currently the only way of feeding code to the script (to my
    knowledge) is:

        echo '<? // code ....?>' | php >output

    or

        <input stream> | php -f code.php >output

    But you can't do something like

        <input stream > | php -p '<? execute php code ?>' >output

    Maybe I missed the last option?
