Re: How to run php function from command line?

First of all, you need to have php installed WITHOUT a webserver. If you haven't done this already, download php, and this should be your ./configure command: ./configure --with-mysql make; make install your php binary will be in /usr/local/lib/php/bin/php (I think). Then put this in test.php, and chmod +x it: #!/usr/local/lib/php/bin/php $connection = mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass"); $db = mysql_select_db("db_to_use", $connection); $sql = mysql_query("UPDATE table SET name='name', email='email'"); Then do ./test.php from the command line. -- Tyler Longren Captain Jack Communications tyler@captainjack.com www.captainjack.com On Mon, 20 Aug 2001 14:13:34 +0100 Moise Bertrand TACHAGO <mbtachago@sdnp.cm> wrote: > Hi, > please, how to run php function which update mysql db from command line? > > Thanks in advance > > -- > Moise Bertrand TACHAGO > Computer scientist, Volunteer DBMS Specialist > SDNP Cameroon, 506 Hajal Center Building, Yaounde CAMEROON > phone (237)22 24 90 > E_mails mbtachago@sdnp.cm > tachago_bertrand@yahoo.fr > > >
