RE: [PHP] PHP from the command line
jasper, what i meant to say is show us the code, as well as the output of the err msgs generated by the connection code. in some cases, the app runs as a different user when the code is run as the apache user or the 'command line' user. if you're going to try to figure out the issue/problem, you need to look at what might be the problem, and prioritize. from my experience: -might be running as a different user -might be some weird setup having to do with the host/port addresses -might be weird php.ini config settings.. -etc.. so rather than guess, let's get the guy's data/information and go from there. but all things remaning equal, i'm inclined to agree that the same code 'should' work. so, give us the data/output, and we'll see what it looks like. i'm also willing to bet that the issue will be something fairly simple/trivial to fix. -bruce -Original Message- From: Jasper Bryant-Greene [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 11:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 'Robbert van Andel'; 'David Tulloh'; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] PHP from the command line On Thu, 2005-11-03 at 20:58 -0800, bruce wrote: > ok.. > > show us the connection code you're using to access the db.. I think you're on the wrong track. The connection code is known good because it works in CLI mode. What I would like to see is any notable differences between the output of phpinfo() in CLI mode and through your webserver.

Re: [PHP] PHP from the command line
Many linux distributions use a different php config file for the apache and cli versions. Using two different configurations might explain the problems you are seeing.

Re: [PHP] php from the command line
It might be a good idea to check the list archives. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general But since I am feeling nice today (assuming you want to do it on *nix). Then download and un-pack the source and run: # ./configure [... additional options here like MySQL etc...(make sure you don't put in the webserver)] # make # make install Then it will create a php executable in the /usr/local/bin/ dir. Run that like this: # php -f filename.php There is also another way to do it with magic lines I think something like this at the top of your _executable_ file #!/usr/local/bin/php ... Then just run your executable file like you would any other.
