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...

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> " ;

OOP In Command Line
I'm trying to write a fairly simple, easy to reconfigure php script which must be run from the command line, in this case, of a windows machine. I am defining my variables in a file called 'config.php' and i am requiring config.php at the top of the script (first thing i do). When i go to execute the script from the command line, it simply echos the contents of config.php in the command prompt.

Command Line From PHP

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!

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 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);

Sql From A Command Line Sort Of
I have started an assignment for college, where I have to create a form to view fields from a MySQL database using PHP no problems there. The problem I have is another part of the assignment which requires me to be able to input a complete SQL command in via an input/textarea box. What the assignment has asked for is something similar to the SQL window as in PHPMyAdmin. What I need to know is how do I parse a complete string such as - SELECT * FROM table WHERE clause = CONDITION. I know it's easy enough embedding SQL into PHP, I don't have a problem with that at all, what I think I need to find out is how to parse all the redundant characters in the string, spaces etc.

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.

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

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?
