Ok, I'm new to php cli. I've tried to just create this script:
CODE
<?php print "Hello World!"; ?>

But I get all this extra stuff from the cli and I can't save the file?
CODE
root@Me:/home/Israel# php -a -s
Interactive mode enabled

<code><span style="color: #000000">
<?php print "Hello World!"; ?>
<span style="color: #0000BB">&lt;?php&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #007700">print&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #DD0000">"Hello&nbsp;World!"</span><span style="color: #007700">;&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #0000BB">?&gt;<br />Filename:HelloWorld.php

Hmmm.... I got it to stop adding all that extra code by turning off the -s switch. I misunderstood the man page thinking this would high-light the codes on the command line in color like Notepad++ or one of those text-editors. I see now that it just adds code to make the output of the text in your php file in colors. By turning off that switch I could then input my code and the command line returned: "Hello World!". But when I tried adding the -f /home/file
I got this...
CODE
root@Me:/home/Me# php -f /home/Israel/hello.php
Could not open input file: /home/Israel/hello.php
root@Me:/home/Me# php -a -f /home/Israel/hello.php
Interactive mode enabled

Could not open input file: /home/Israel/hello.php


Do I need to create a blank php file first and edit it from the Command Line? Can't you just start from the command line?

Yeah, you'd need to a file named "hello.php" to do what you're doing currently since you'd need php code to do stuff.

Now to execute code written in the command line check out this code snippet. It delves into how to do such a thing. wink2.gif
