tibberous Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I run php.exe from the command line (version 5.2). It lets me type, seemingly indefinitely. Is this used for something? Like, can I type code and then somehow say I'm finished and have the code run?

tibberous Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Well, I was trying to use the PHP5 cli like the PHP4 cli, where you just typed "php x.php" I guess they changed it so you have to put "php -f x.php" But then what does not using the -f parameter do? Just type senselessly and have to reopen command prompt?

Maq Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hmm, not sure. You probably already read this but there's a list of command line parameters that explains what they do in the manual, Using PHP from the Command Line -f Parse and execute . Hope this helps.
