.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBPHP\fP is a widely\-used general\-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for 
Web development and can be embedded into HTML. This is the command line interface
that enables you to do the following:
.P
You can parse and execute files by using parameter \-f followed by the name of the 
.IR file 
to be executed.
.LP
Using parameter \-r you can directly execute PHP 
.IR code 
simply as you would do inside a
.B \.php
file when using the 
.B eval() 
function.
.LP
It is also possible to process the standard input line by line using either
the parameter \-R or \-F. In this mode each separate input line causes the
.IR code 
specified by \-R or the 
.IR file
specified by \-F to be executed.
You can access the input line by \fB$argn\fP. While processing the input lines
.B $argi 
contains the number of the actual line being processed. Further more
the parameters \-B and \-E can be used to execute 
.IR code
(see \-r) before and
after all input lines have been processed respectively. Notice that the
input is read from
.B STDIN
and therefore reading from 
.B STDIN 
explicitly changes the next input line or skips input lines.
.LP
If none of \-r \-f \-B \-R \-F or \-E is present but a single parameter is given 
then this parameter is taken as the filename to parse and execute (same as 
with \-f). If no parameter is present then the standard input is read and 
executed.

.SH FILES
.TP 15
.B php\-cli.ini
The configuration file for the CLI version of PHP.
.TP
.B php.ini
The standard configuration file will only be used when 
.B php\-cli.ini
cannot be found.
.SH EXAMPLES
.TP 5
\fIphp \-r 'echo "Hello World\\n";'\fP
This command simply writes the text "Hello World" to standard out.
.TP
\fIphp \-r 'print_r(gd_info());'\fP
This shows the configuration of your gd extension. You can use this
to easily check which image formats you can use. If you have any
dynamic modules you may want to use the same ini file that php uses
when executed from your webserver. There are more extensions which
have such a function. For dba use:
.RS
\fIphp \-r 'print_r(dba_handlers(1));'\fP
.RE
.TP
\fIphp \-R 'echo strip_tags($argn)."\\n";'\fP
This PHP command strips off the HTML tags line by line and outputs the 
result. To see how it works you can first look at the following PHP command
\'\fIphp \-d html_errors=1 \-i\fP\' which uses PHP to output HTML formatted
configuration information. If you then combine those two 
\'\fIphp \.\.\.|php \.\.\.\fP\' you'll see what happens.
.TP
\fIphp \-E 'echo "Lines: $argi\\n";'\fP
Using this PHP command you can count the lines being input.
.TP
\fIphp \-R '@$l+=count(file($argn));' \-E 'echo "Lines:$l\\n";'\fP
In this example PHP expects each input line being a file. It counts all lines 
of the files specified by each input line and shows the summarized result. 
You may combine this with tools like find and change the php scriptlet.
.TP
\fIphp \-R 'echo "$argn\\n"; fgets(STDIN);'\fP
Since you have access to STDIN from within \-B \-R \-F and \-E you can skip 
certain input lines with your code. But note that in such cases $argi only 
counts the lines being processed by php itself. Having read this you will 
guess what the above program does: skipping every second input line.
.SH TIPS
You can use a shebang line to automatically invoke php
from scripts. Only the CLI version of PHP will ignore
such a first line as shown below:
.P
.PD 0
.RS
#!/bin/php
.P
<?php
.P
 // your script
.P
?>
