Hello List
I would like some advice from PHP users regarding PHP and the command line. I
have a PHP script that does a whole bunch of stuff to a file on my intranet.
./edit.php filename var1 var2
Everything works fine but I need to run it on a list of files -
./edit.php invoice00212.txt var1 var2
./edit.php invoice00213.txt var1 var2
./edit.php invoice00214.txt var1 var2
I have a list of several thousand files that will change every month. The list
has the filenames and variables, like this so I am half way there I think -
invoice00212.txt var1 var2
invoice00213.txt var1 var2
invoice00214.txt var1 var2
My question is how should I incorporate this with my PHP script?
I read that it's better to split scripts up into small reusable parts so my
plan is to keep the logic out of the edit.php script and simply pass the
variables to it using another script. Am I on the right path doing this?
I am only a beginner with PHP so I admit I dont really know what Im doing,
that is why I am asking for pointers from the PHP Mail List :)
Below is my model, however I am unsure how to achieve this or even if it's the
best way to do it?
open filelist.txt
for each line create $filename $var1 $var2
then run
./edit.php $filename $var1 $var2
loop back to the next line
end
Many thanks in advance,
Ang.
