Re: [PHP4BETA] PHP4 + Informix/ODBC without WEB-Environment ?

Just build the "CGI" standalone version of PHP and you can do all the php "batch" scripting you like. If you start the scripts with "#!usr/local/bin/php" (under Unix or Linux that is) and do a chmod +x and you can treat them as ordinary shell scripts, otherwise you have to start them with "php scriptname". We routinely start PHP scripts that execute queries on Informix from "cron".
