Executing code with CLI without using a file

hi, i just looked at the code for a possibility to extend CLI to execute code without using files. For example: php -- 'echo "Hello World";' I saw that only files can be executed, so i had to pacth the following files: Zend/zend_compile.h:

        added new constant ZEND_HANDLE_STRING
        added new prototype for zend_execute_code

Zend/zend.c:

        added function zend_execute_code which executed a prepended file a
        code string and an appended file

main/main.c:

        make function php_execute_script recognize type ZEND_HANDLE_STRING
                and invoke zend_execute_code instead zend_execute_scripts on that type.

sapi/cli/php_cli.c

        added switch -- in php_cli_usage
        function main:
                stop interpreting argumants after --
                setting up information for -- with file_handle.type = ZEND_HANDLE_STRING
                        the code pointer uses file_handle.filename

The code compiles but i cannot build an executable. I only have CYGWIN where i am now and the CVS version does not build them.... marcus --------->>> mailto:marcus.boerger@post.rwth-aachen.de <<<------------ "We are animals among animals, all children of matter, save that we are the more disarmed.
