[PHP] Php shell scripting
Does anyone know how I can pass variables into a script being executed from the command line? I have a script, named testscript. So far, I have been getting all my variables from the system env command, not a big deal. But I want to input a username into the script, like testscript jmchenry. In basic shell scripting, the value of any parameters would be $1, $2, $3, etc.. within the script, but how can I do this with PHP? Is it even possible?

$argv, possibly $_SERVER['argv']. Cheers, Rob. On Thu, 2003-12-11 at 00:31, Jake McHenry wrote: Does anyone know how I can pass variables into a script being executed from the command line?

[PHP] PHP shell scripting not working right?
I'm trying to do shell scripting in PHP. I have PHP installed in /usr/bin/php. I have the following script: #!/usr/bin/php -q ?php print Success!\n; ? It's saved as test.php and CHMODed to 777. When I type test.php at the command line, it says: bash: test.php: command not found When I type test, it acts like I just hit enter. Typing /usr/bin/php -q test.php does work. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? -- The above message is encrypted with double rot13 encoding.

Re: [PHP] PHP shell scripting not working right?
Ever answered your own question five seconds after asking it? Apparently, I have to type /path/to/test.php even though I'm already in the right directory.

Re: [PHP] PHP shell scripting not working right?
In Unix you need to specify the working folder when you are launching an executable, otherwise Bash will try to look into its search path, which does not include the current folder. Try: ./test.php That should work. BTW--running test by itself only *looks* like hitting enter--it's really a valid command. Try man test for more info.

You don't have ./ in your $PATH so you must type ./test.php to execute it Leif K-Brooks wrote: I'm trying to do shell scripting in PHP. I have PHP installed in /usr/bin/php.

[PHP] PHP shell scripting..
I have some questions about using PHP as a shell scripting language... mainly how you pass arguments to a script on the command line. Say I'm using: -- #!/usr/local/bin/php -q ? print I am: $name\n; ? -- How do I define test from the command line (as an argument while executing the script)?

RE: [PHP] PHP shell scripting..
Hello Ryan, You can use environment variables for that, like: echo $HOME; /* Shows the HOME environment variable, if set. */ You can also use getenv() en putenv() see also: http://nl.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php hope it works :) - Kees -Original Message- From: Ryan Christensen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2001 8:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] PHP shell scripting..

Hello Ryan, Let me give you an example :) Lets use your script, #!/usr/local/bin/php -q ? print I am: $name\n; ? i called it echo-name.php and chmod 755 it.

RE: [PHP] PHP shell scripting..
Thanks.. that helps out a lot. Next question.. is there a way I can prompt for input? For example.. have a prompt Name: .. that waits for the user to enter their name.. and then assignes whatever they enter to a variable. Think you can help? :) Thanks... - Ryan Christensen -Original Message- From: Kees Hoekzema [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2001 11:41 AM To: Ryan Christensen Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] PHP shell scripting..
