Hi all,
I have "inherited" some PHP (command-line) scripts that are used on a Linux system for some small database calls (SOAP). I need to turn these scripts into standard linux executables. I have seen a number to projects (phc, HHVM, recki-ct), but none of those seem to be able to do the trick. phc was abandoned a while ago and isn't compileable anymore, HHVM does not create executables, and recki-ct only throws a ton of build errors on my system, so I can't even test it.
The scripts were written using PHP5.5 and are only a few hundred lines long. What can I do to turn them into an executable (ELF file format) for Linux (other than a complete rewrite in another language, which is way too time-consuming)?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers, Frank.
