PHP on the command line?

Do I need to have a local installation to make this happen? Does anyone know if "foxserver" can be used to make a PHP .exe? I'm a programmer and database developer at my company not the server admin so I have never installed PHP on anything...

I guess I'll need to figure this out before I spend time writing an entry.

I don't understand your question, but a script that runs from the command line does not need a server. Just go to the DOS-prompt, go to your PHP directory and typ:

php.exe -f c:your_dircapture.php

Now your script will be parsed.
I hope this is an answer to your question

not really - do we type the collands mu md etc in the command line?

Instead of type: [in PHP directory]
php.exe -f c:absolutepathCapture.php

you can type one time only:
PATH c:dir_were_PHP_is

and then work in the Capture directory as if you were in PHP directory, so you can type:
php capture.php

for your own testing environment u don't realy have to run scripts from the command line!

here how i think is best enviroment u can set up with ur web server...

in one dir, place your judge.php script and two (or more) dirs for robot scripts..

then, when u need to start script1 from the judge.php, change dir to script1, and include('capture.php'); file...

then u can draw a grid with html (from judging script) and see what is happening -> debug / inpruve ur scripts!

u can also look ur judge.php script from the browser, and still start robot scripts from command line with exec('/path/to/php /path/to/robot-script.php'); but for me, first method is faster...

If you give a judging script I do that!!!
I think in this script that "the Simplest is the best".

i am not shure i understand u dr.Freud...

do u want my judging script or what?

if so, sorry, but it is't finished yet... and don't know if it is legal...

Sorry, my english is poor! :rolleyes:


I say this only ironically!
Thankx for the reply Zombie, see you in the final match!

A reply to Anonymous:

No you don't type the commands on the command line, you only use the command line to parse your script. So you'll have to open a stream with move.txt

i hope so... and if we do, i wont mind if u win

Under Linux, a proper executable PHP script begins with the following lines (I think):

> #!/usr/local/bin/php
> <?php

Will it work fine under other OS's?

You don't need to change anything in the code under Windows
