[PHP] Re: Can php run as a script?
Look for PHP CLI in google. Recent versions of PHP install at CLI PHP executable by default. e.g I ended up with one in: /usr/local/apache/bin/php [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# /usr/local/apache/bin/php -v PHP 4.3.1 (cli) (built: Feb 20 2003 14:09:35) Copyright (c) 1997-2002 The PHP Group Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2002 Zend Technologies - Original Message - From: Kelvin Poon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newsgroups: php.general To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 11:43 AM Subject: Can php run as a script? Hi, This might be a newbie question but I can't find an answer anywhere I search. I know php can be excuted by a web browser, but can it run as a script like Perl? The reason i ask is, I need to write a php script that updates a database in a server. And this script needs to be running in the background as a service, that's why i was wondering if I can excute it like a perl script. If it can't, do you guys know if I can use perl to call up a php script? Please advise.

[PHP] RE: Can php run as a script?
Thanks! but the thing is I have php 4.2.2 version installed in that server. And since it is not 4.3.0 therefore CLI isn't on by default. How can I check if CLI is on or not? If it is not on, I won't be able to excute the php as a script in another other way?

[PHP] Re: Can php run as a script?
I used to use wget and run cleanup scripts from cron in the usual way. Some people also used to use lynx to do it, I believe. But the best way would be to install latest version of PHP, IMHO. - Original Message - From: Poon, Kelvin (Infomart) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Tim Burden' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 12:35 PM Subject: RE: Can php run as a script?
