In addition to Markus Fischer: Does the CLI version has the ability to execute code without <? and ?>.
Assuming "-s --" as solution. -s to skip <? and -- instead of -p from Markus Fisher (other cmd utils like awk use -- too). This would allow: php -s -- 'echo "hello world";' From my point of view both are necessary to make php a widely accepted shell script language. Also i would appreciate --help to show up with version and supported switches. marcus to make At 09:39 05.03.2002, Markus Fischer wrote: > Is there a way to execute code from the command line AND process > stdin/stdout without using an external file with php code? > > Currently the only way of feeding code to the script (to my > knowledge) is: > > echo '<? // code ....?>' | php >output > > or > > <input stream> | php -f code.php >output > > But you can't do something like > > <input stream > | php -p '<? execute php code ?>' >output > > > Maybe I missed the last option? > > - Markus > >-- >Please always Cc to me when replying to me on the lists. >GnuPG Key: http://guru.josefine.at/~mfischer/C2272BD0.asc > >-- >PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> >To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
