从命令行运行PHP脚本

Question

So I'm working with a designer on a website in PHP/MySQL and there are a few scripts that he would like to have to make life easier for him. He is pretty comfortable using the command line for stuff like git, SASS, node, etc. I would like him to be able to run my scripts like he would run a program, instead of running it through PHP.

So instead of this:

php /path/to/file/create_module.php module_name

I would like to do this:

myscript create_module module_name

Is it possible to do this with PHP on an Apache server? I know I will most likely have to modify the server to interpret it properly, which is fine. I just don't even know where to begin, and couldn't find what I needed on Google.

Answer 1

Your best bet would to be to create an alias .

So an alias of myscript would actually point to the command: php /path/to/file/create_module.php and then any extra arguments will be passed as typed.

In command line, do the following:

cd /etc/
nano bash.bashrc

At the very bottom of the file, add this line of text:

alias "myscript=php /path/to/file/create_module.php"

BASHRC is a script that is run on user login, so the alias will be recreated every time the user logs into the system.

I am not sure what you are looking for myscript to do, but to run a php script via the command line without specifying the php binary, just add aa shebang , like

#!/bin/env php
<?php

// The above expects env is in /bin

$foo = "bar";

Or the full path if you like

#!/usr/bin/php

Answer 3

Another option: Shell script wrapper

create a new text file in /bin or another directory in your PATH , name it how you would like to invoke your script and give it this content

#!/bin/bash
cd /path/to/your/php/scripts/folder
php script.php $*

don't forget to

chmod a+x /path/to/bash/script

The advantage of this is that your PHP script is run in the right directory where it may expect other resources to be that it depends on.

On A Linux Solution:

/usr/bin/php /path/to/file.php

On a Windows Solution:

C:\Path\To\PHPExe C:\Path\To\phpfile.php
