如何在 Windows 上的任何地方运行 .phar？

Question

I have .phar file and i want to run it from anywhere with this command.

php file.phar --options

where file.phar is in C:\my-php-cli\file

Answer 1

That is not possible. For example, putting file.phar to C:\Windows\System32 and calling php file.phar --options from another directory like C:\Temp will produce

Could not open input file: file.phar

You have to create a small batch file next to your *.phar, eg, run-file.bat with this contents:

@ECHO OFF
php %~dp0file.phar %*

Then, calling run-file will execute your file.phar .

Answer 2

For Windows 10 I found that you need a your-file.cmd to run the .phar file.

I was trying to get php-cs-fixer running so in my PHP directory i had the following:

PHP\
    phpFixer\
        php-cs-fixer.phar
        php-cs-fixer.cmd

Contents of php-cs-fixer.cmd:

@php "%~dp0php-cs-fixer.phar" %* 

verified it works by entering this in command line:

php-cs-fixer --version
PHP CS Fixer 2.14.0 Sunrise by Fabien Potencier and Dariusz Ruminski (b788ea0)

Hope that helps

Answer 3

You would need to add the folder containing file.phar to your path variable.

Answer 4

To make wp-cli.phar work,

1. Create wp.bat
2. Put the following in it:

@ECHO OFF
php %~dpn0.phar %*

%~dpn0: Is a placeholder for $0 (Linux users will understand).

3. The directory where you want to place wp.bat , make sure to add that path to the environtment variables.
4. Rename wp-cli.phar to wp.phar (should be the same as the name of the .bat file, ie wp.bat and wp.phar . It is better to have both in the same directory.
5. Open a new PowerShell window, and execute

wp --help

The above command will only work if you have PHP installed.

Answer 5

This is how you make .phar files work the way .bat or .vbs files work where you can run them directly or add them to your path and it will automatically run them through the appropriate interpreter (in this case PHP)

1. Add ;.PHAR to the end of your PATHEXT environment variable (searching "Edit the system environment variables" in the start menu should get you to the right place). This is a semicolon separated list of file extensions that will be run in the same command window rather than launching their own window.
2. Set the default program for .phar files to be php.exe . You can get to the settings for this by searching "Choose a default app for each type of file" in the start menu or by selecting "Try an app on this PC" > "Look for another app on this PC" in the dialogue that opens the first time you try to open a .phar file.
3. At this point you can run .phar files just like you would run a .bat file. You don't have to worry about what directory php.exe is in, but you do have to worry about what directory the .phar is in. If you want to make a particular .phar file available from any folder it needs to be inside a folder listed in your PATH . Either move the .phar to an existing folder in your PATH (like C:\Windows\system32 ) or add the folder containing the .phar to your PATH the same way you modified PATHEXT in step 1.
4. You have to close and re-open any cmd/powershell windows before environment variable changes go into effect.
5. Run your .phar file without putting php in front. If it is in your PATH you can optionally omit the .phar at the end as well. This is nice if you are using, for example, composer.phar . Once you set everything up and add it to your path, you can do things like composer --version from any directory.
