php without a server

[julian_m]

I'm just need to excec a few php scripts that mainly do admin job over
files, like create folders, rename files, backup them, ....

Is there any way to run the scripts as if they were a sort of ".bat"
files?

regards - jm

Yes. There is a command line version ( well certainly for *nix, probably
for windows ) which will allow you to do just that.

I've taken to writing my 3 liners in php and moved away from other
scripting languages, as there's one less language to remember. And some of
them get really annoying when things like the use of a $ change between
languages!

My $0.02,

Steve

If you're on windows, make a small batch file that takes a script as an
argument, and passes it to your PHP executable (also pointing out to it
where your php.ini is, if needed). Then, in Windows, associate an extension
(I do .xphp) with that batch file. Now, when you run a .xphp file (from the
gui or command line) it acts exactly like a batch file, but is executing
PHP. I use this all the time, and it works really well.
