RE: [PHP] PHP & Command Lines

From another php'er ----------------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/php -q <? for ($i = 0; $i < $argc; $i++) switch ($argv[$i]) case "-i": $ip = $argv[++$i]; break; case "-d": $domain = $argv[++$i]; break; [...... Repeat as needed.......] } } And then i have, if(!$ip || !$domain || !$user){ echo<<<OPTIONS you forgot something. usage is:$argv[0] -i [ip] -d [domain] -u [user] [OPTIONS] These are required fields... -i Valid IP address. Will later incorprate checking into the script but for now please use one that isnt taken -d Valid Domain name. OPTIONS; exit; } to check to see if i entered alll the right variables. compile php as a cgi and your all set. -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Chum [mailto:jchum@techdevelopers.com] Sent: Friday, June 30, 2000 9:43 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] PHP & Command Lines I was wondering if PHP can handle command lines like PERL. Something like example.php -1 -d If so, would it be good thing to write a command line program in PHP. I just finished coding a PERL indexing script, backend by MySQL with a PHP3 interface. Now, I want to do it fully with PHP and was wondering if doing so would be feasible with PHP. . .
