note 73656 added to features.commandline

python coders might miss this construct when working in PHP: if __name__=='__main__': # handle direct invocation from command line it's a great way to embed little bits of test code (or a full-on cli for that matter), while keeping the source file usable in other contexts. Far as I can tell, this is the closest approximation available in PHP5: if ('cli'===php_sapi_name() && __FILE__===realpath( getcwd().DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$_SERVER['argv'][0] )) { // handle direct invocation from command line } ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 71.243.156.9 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73656 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73656/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73656/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73656/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73656/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73656/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73656/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73656 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73656 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
