Running run-tests.php

Hi The subject of running run-test.php came up on IRC, I thought it was worth summarising. There are two widely used ways to run tests. (1) Most of the developers seem to use something like this: cd php_top_level_source_dir make test TESTS= the/ext/I/wnat/to/test I think this is easier if you are fixing and rebuilding PHP a lot. (2) The alternative way (which I use because I'm mainly just running tests) is to have a script in my bin directory (called, for example, run53): #!/bin/sh export TEST_PHP_EXECUTABLE=/mnt/workspace/PHP/php53/sapi/cli/php $TEST_PHP_EXECUTABLE /mnt/workspace/PHP/php53/run-tests.php $* so that when I want to run test(s), I just type run53 mytest.phpt I also have run52 and run6 scripts. On Windows I use a .bat file which looks pretty similar. Hope this helps, Zoe
