Hi folks. I have a project coming up that will involve writing a non-trivial command line PHP application. Most of it will be nice and abstracted and standalone and all of that jazz, but it will need to do command line interation. I'm not sure yet if it will be interactive or if I just need to parse lots of command line switches. Has anyone used a CLI-handling library they like? I recall briefly using the PEAR CLI library many many years ago and disliking it because it was only barely a step above the raw PHP-CLI SAPI, and still required lots of if-else branching in my code. I don't know if there's anything better since then, however. I prefer clean OO to procedural, but can work with procedural if needs be. The fewer dependencies it has the better as well. Any recommendations? (Open source, GPLv2-compatible required.)

Hi Larry, I wrote the following some time ago: http://www.interjinn.com/jinnDoc/interJinn.class.JinnCoreServicesCliArguments.php It is tied to my framework, but could easily be lifted and embedded in a standalone class. License is GPL V2 so feel free to adapt as befits said license.
