executing PHP

[SmoothDime]

is there some command line interface tool i can use to run my php script? i've made a php script to use for a cron job and i want to test it - not in the browser and not with the cron.

thanks

You can get Command Line (CLI) versions of PHP.

Edit: Don't ask me anything about it though, I don't know. I stick to my CGI PHP.

Emmm... www.php.net is all I or anyone else can say...

:D

You need to first find the file and chmod +x FILE.php

After doing that: ./file.php :)

Have fun :D Yay for PHP CLI!

That's only if you have the #!(shabang), which most PHP scripts don't. You probably want to execute



$ php myfile.php


You don't even have to chmod +x it, how's that for a bonus? ;)

but where do I run the command? ssh? putty?

telnet or ssh, I presume???

SSH I recomend if you can.. use the She-Bang as Cyanblue said.
Yea it will save the chmod stuff... but.. do it lol.

In a SSH session with the server you can do it.
