Is There A Php Command To Take A Specific Field From A Delimited Line Of Text?
I have a string which is multiple fields delimited by commas.
I would like a php command that says... take the 3rd field for
example.
ie. If MYVARIABLE has the data "hello,there,big,world".
I would like to be able to say, pickup the 3rd field "big" without
knowing the character positions or lengths.

CLI ( Command-line ) PHP Displaying Source Code In-line When Programis Executed
I'm using PHP 4.4.2, and use PHP on both the command-line and the web. I am running PHP on SuSE 10 Linux , in a VMware 5.5 workstation, using Apache 2.0.55 , on my Dell laptop. Everything has been running flawlessly without problems. Very amazing to use VMware, it has worked beautifully. uname -a Linux xxxxxxx 2.6.13-15.8-default #1 Tue Feb 7 11:07:24 UTC 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux php -v PHP 4.4.2 (cli) (built: Feb 7 2006 20:13:29) Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies php -m [PHP Modules] bcmath bz2 calendar ctype curl dbx dio domxml exif ftp gd gettext gmp iconv mcrypt mssql mysql ncurses openssl overload pcre posix session shmop sockets standard sysvsem sysvshm tokenizer wddx xml yp zlib When I run the following program from the command line it prints out the source code as well as the output from the program. I run other PHP programs on the command-line and this doesn't happen. It's really peculiar. The error output is below. I copied this off of php.net, and have modified it only slightly to allow command-line input. I was trying to find a CSV solution, which I ended up finding elsewhere, but am curious why this program would error out the way it does--have I misconfigured something? My php.ini is basically unchanged, if at all. I think I might have set the path to mysql but that's about it. When I run this program from the web it works without error. <?php if ( $argv[0] ) { $file = $argv[0] ; } else{ $file = $_GET['file'] ; print "<font face=arial> " ; } $row = 1; $handle = fopen("$file", "r"); while ( ( $data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",") ) !== FALSE ) { $num = count($data); print "$num fields in line $row:<br> "; $row++; for ($c = 0; $c < $num; $c++) { print "$data[$c]<br> " ;
Create A Delimited Text Array
How can I create a delimited text file to work with this script. I would like to put this first part in a text file and load it into an array so the php script can parse it. Code:
Importing To DB From Pipe Delimited Text File
I am trying to make a PHP script that will import data from a pipe delimited text file in to a database. The problem I am having is that the fields have long descriptions in them and there are multiple line breaks for paragraphs. They contain HTML codes as well (<B>). The multiple line breaks are causing it to import the data strange, putting data in the wrong fields and totally missing some data as well. Here is what the text file Code:

Php Command Line
how would I write a function so that it can accept parameters when running it via command line? eg. php -q email-script.php and somehow pass an email address to that file? is it possible to have the php file wait for keyboard input?

PHP Command Line
I am running PHP from the command line, so I can have a huge loop, so... how can get the file to start over once it gets to the end of an array? after the foreach, I was thinking of having: <?php header("Location: contentRobot.php"); exit; ?> But... I'm not sure if that is only valid for browser or not.

How To Return Just First-line From A Multi-line String Of Text?
I've been looking through the manual for string commands, and I haven't had success in determining the proper call for this, if there is one: Let's say I have a text string with hard-carriage returns in it: "The lazy brown fox ran down the road to the store and bought some eggs to bake a cake and serve dinner for all his friends." So if that string value is in "x", how can I tell it to return JUST the first line: "The lazy brown fox ran down the road"
Just One Line ! (exec Command)

Skip To Line Command?
Hello fellow PHPers. I've made a few posts in the past few days and really appreciate your help. Now i'm at the end of my project - getting a database submission/send email form to validate. I get all the correct errors if the person doesn't enter certain fields, and the data doesn't submit. If they do enter all the required fields, it submits... However, the code for when it doesn't submit reads... if ($errmsg!= "") { echo $errmsg; } else { the rest of the code the rest of the html syntax My problem is that if the error page comes up, the rest of the HTML doesn't get rendered because the PHP simply quits. Is there a command in PHP in terms of "Go To Line This in the document", so rather than exiting it would just skip the rest of the PHP but still print all the HTML. I thought of switching!= to == but the way in which that works fails as well. I'm thinking I might have to validate straight on the form rather than the submission page, but let me know what you know!
Talking To The Command Line
I have written a c program using Baltimores Encryption solution. I need to be able to access the executable from PHP but have not got the first clue how... I simply need to pass the executable a string, and expect a string back.

Command Line Problems
I'm trying to use PHP as a command line executable, but I'm running into a few problems with passing in arguments, mainly, I can't.

However, no matter what I try, I can't seem to pass in variables and print out their values.
Newbie: How To Run Php From Command Line?
I need to test a script and want to do so on a Linux box (logged in via SSH from another machine). I tried creating a test script (called "test.php") like this: #!/usr/bin/php <?php print "test"; ?> and tried running this from the command line like this: ../test.php but nothing happens. I also tried this: ../test test.txt and the text in test.txt is this: X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.2 Content-type: text/html Why is "test" not appearing in the test.txt file? How do I get "test" to appear on my screen, rather than having to use test.txt? Do I have to redirect STDOUT? How do I do this?

Compiling Command-line
I'm trying to install a program (Cacti -- it queries for things like bandwidth usage, etc. every five seconds, and generates graphs from that data); however, it requires that it be able to run "php" from the command-line. (As opposed to through Apache.) Is there an easy way to recompile PHP with its previous settings, but also configure it to allow me to invoke it from the command line? (If it matters; I compiled it initially with ApacheToolbox, but that's of no help to me for this.)

PHP Only Runs From Command Line
I know very little about PHP, but I was just curious to know why exactly would some PHP code run fine from the command line but not from the browser? I'm just curious. I was working with someone else's PHP code that supposedly created MySQL tables in a database and for some reason it just wouldn't create the tables at all (no specific error message). Someone suggested I run from the command line and when I did, it worked...
PHP And Command Line (for Wiki)
I started to "program" in PHP (better say to read it :P) from a few days because I am installing a Wiki on a virtual server (Windows Server 2003 with Plesk 7.6). I have PHP5 and all is working just fine. However, I am trying to parse latex equations and encountered some troubles. I have already installed all the necessary software and when I execute the following by command line: C:miktexinlatex.exe --output-directory=C:Inetpubvhostsmysite.com httpdocswikiimages mp --interaction=nonstopmode C:a.tex I generate the right file in the right folder. However, when I try to execute (adding it to a PHP routine that is executed for sure): $command = "C:miktexinlatex.exe --output-directory=C:Inetpub vhostsmysite.comhttpdocswikiimages mp -- interaction=nonstopmode C:a.tex"; $text = exec($command);
Running Php From Command Line
I'm trying to run a php script from the command line, but I'm having some difficulties. If I browse to my page in IE, my script executes properly, but if I run it from the command line, I receive this error: Warning: fopen() URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /www/public_html/update.php on line 21 Warning: fopen(): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /www/public_html/update.php on line 21 I'm not sure why I receive errors when trying to run on the command line and not when accessing the page through a browser... My question is, can I open the page from a command line like a browser would??? I would like to make it a cron job, and currently I try "php update.php", but that receives the error... Is there a "http update.php" or a "get update.php" that would potentially do the same thing as a browser?
Reading From Command Line
I want to be able to have an infinite loop that is exited when the user types "q" on the command line.

I searched the php.net site and in the user comments I found this function: Code:

Disable Command Line Arguments For Php-cli
i have been trying to disable the -n and -c arguments that you can use with php from the command prompt. this is because these features can effectively disable my php.ini which has a whole mess of disabled_functions (that i want to ensure remain disabled). my best idea for going about doing this so far has been to download the source for the newest php, with hopes to compile my own which will ignore arguments other than a filename. so far the closest i have got is to the the zend_API.c which has the follow function: Code:
Segmentation Fault On Command Line
I have a script running in the wee hours via cron job. When I access the script via browser it works like a charm. I noticed it was not succeeding and ran it manually from the command line and it threw a Segmentation Fault.

MySQL Database From The Command Line
I am creating a MySQL database from the command line for the first time. I am creating a database called 'goldminers' with 1 table called 'goldminers'. What am I doing wrong here: mysql> use goldminers Database changed mysql> drop table goldminers -> ; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.13 sec) mysql> make table goldminers -> (id int unsigned not null primary key, -> name char(30) not null, -> dateIssued date not null, -> location char(20) not null, -> comment text null, -> url text null); ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'make table goldminers (id int unsigned not null primary key, name char(30) not n' at line 1 The reason that I didn't make the ID auto_increment is that, even though it is generally incrementing by 1 every time, there are some places where the database skips numbers because of goldminers who we don't have any information on. I need my database's IDs to match the IDs on the existing paper-version of the database.

Running PHP On Command Line & IIS Setup
I am trying to run PHP off of a IIS server....which hasn't be so pretty. I have included the path environment variable C:PHP, rebooted and started back up. Within C:PHP are two executables php-cgi.exe and php-win.exe. everything I have read online has said that all I need to do is point an environment path to this folder and everything should work. wrong!!!! I try to run a script in dos and get php is not valid command error.....it's as if it isn't recognizing the command path. I have also set up php under properties to be opened by the CLI....so what am I doing wrong here? I'm running IIS 6 with a dedicated server.
Sed Command Fails If Line Has Quote
I'm trying to make a script that will search a list of files and remove the following line <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>"> I'm doing this by generating a sed command and using system to execute it like so: $t = sprintf("%s "s/<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>">%s/g" %s >%s", $sedPath,$str1_rpl, $infile, $outfile); system($t); The problem is the quote found in the text to be replaced. sed sees it as part of its command and ignores everything after it. For example, if I use <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content= for the search string, it works. But if I use <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content=" it doesn't work. I have tried escaping the quote

Speeding Up Command Line Scripts
I have a command line script which works really fine, the only problem is that it take *really* long for the first output to be printed on screen. Since I also get some HTTP headers I'm suspecting that some sort of output buffering is used. How can I tell PHP to flush the buffer automatically (without using flush(); after every print or echo) and to remove the headers?
Command-line PHP And Suppressing Headers - Help
How do I suppress the lines PHP normally delivers to stdout (your browser) if I am doing command-line PHP? e.g. stuff.php: <? echo 'Hello World' ?> Calling it from a Red Hat 7.3 command-line terminal I would do the following: php /my/directory/path/to/stuff.php And I would eventually get Hello World But before that, an enormous amount of garbage, particularly HTTP header information: PHP Version 4.2.3 Content-type: text/html Hello World How do I strip everything out except that which I need to see while using PHP from the command line? I am having a horrific time using TCL instead.
Syntax Check On The Command Line
It would be great if anyone could help me with this problem: I want to check the syntax of my php code. Therefore I use the command line function PHP -l, the structure is similar to the following code (example from the php Manual.) The Problem is: I read from the standard output with echo stream_get_contents($pipes[1]); this function is available only from PHP version 5, but I must write for version 4.3.0. Which way could it be solved? I don't want to use a temporary file. <?php $descriptorspec = array( 0 => array("pipe", "r"), // stdin is a pipe that the child will read from 1 => array("pipe", "w"), // stdout is a pipe that the child will write to 2 => array("file", "/tmp/error-output.txt", "a") // stderr is a file to write to ); $cwd = '/tmp' $env = array('some_option' => 'aeiou'); $process = proc_open('php', $descriptorspec, $pipes, $cwd, $env); if (is_resource($process)) { // $pipes now looks like this: // 0 => writeable handle connected to child stdin // 1 => readable handle connected to child stdout // Any error output will be appended to /tmp/error-output.txt fwrite($pipes[0], '<?php print_r($_ENV); ?>'); fclose($pipes[0]); echo stream_get_contents($pipes[1]); fclose($pipes[1]); // It is important that you close any pipes before calling // proc_close in order to avoid a deadlock $return_value = proc_close($process); echo "command returned $return_value "; } ?>

Running Script From The Command Line
I'm trying to set up email piping on my server and I'm getting the following error back in my email: /bin/sh: /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/mailcontroller.php: /usr/bin/php : bad interpreter: No such file or directory I think the mail alias I set up in qmail is working correctly because when it wasn't I didn't get a script error back, just a user not found error. From the error it sounds like it's not able to find php but I've tested a script from the command line to that path and it works fine (php is running as CGI btw, rather than CLI). I'm guessing that it's making it all the way to mailcontroller.php because I don't have the /usr/bin/php path anywhere else but in that file. Could it be that it's actually running the script but can't get to stdin?
