The CLI (command line interface) SAPI has been introduced
|
|
|
|
|
with a goal of making PHP better at supporting the creation of
|
|
|
|
|
stand alone applications.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is based on CGI SAPI with all CGI specific things removed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main differences between the two:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* CLI is started up in quiet mode by default.
|
|
|
|
|
(-q switch kept for compatibility)
|
|
|
|
|
* It does not change the working directory to that of the script.
|
|
|
|
|
(-C switch kept for compatibility)
|
|
|
|
|
* Plain text error message
|
|
|
|
|
* $argc and $argv registered irrespective of register_globals

|
|
|
and register_argc_argv php.ini settings.

|
|
|
* implicit_flush always on
|

|
|
|
* -r option which allows execution of PHP code directly from
|
|
|
|
|
the command line (e.g. php -r 'echo md5("test");' )
|

|
|
|
* Other more sophisticated command line switches (see: man php)
|

|
|
|
* max_execution_time is set to unlimited, overriding php.ini setting.
