I'm going to be the jerk to say it:

Use PHP for programming? Are you nuts? I use it for cooking.

Ok, I'm sorry... I knew what you meant. I don't use PHP for shell programming... yet.

lol. This is a tough poll.

er0k. Which Zend product were you referring to? I think we can only assume you mean PHP? Referring to the Zend Engine?

Sounds like a great book, Jedi: 'The Zend of Cooking" by Jedi Legend.

Surely he/she (can't be too careful

) means the zend IDE that you can get.

I use Zend occasionally for PhP web development, but for the
most part I use Programmer's File Editor (PFE) or Pico if I
have the luxury of working from a *nix box on that particular
day. The problem with Zend is that it is so damned slow.
Right idea guys, but could you do some cleaning to make it
more w2k friendly for those of us that don't always get to
choose our environment.

pico?? Whoa!! You're the first coder I've heard step out of the emacs vs vi argument.

I coded in vi for 2 1/2 years and then switched to Studio.

I use Zend Studio, but not for shell programming.

for shell programming, i'm a pico fan, and i'm entirely different when it comes to php programming, i like my color coding in macromedia's homesite

I have used it for shell work, but mostly use vi if it's remote.

Studio is also great for PHP-Gtk work. I've created a nice IMAP client and time tracker using solely Studio and have saved a lot of time.

But I use zend at work and at home developing php sites

Just open your script and edit it

I was referring to editing shell scripts with Studio.

procoder · 08-07-2003, 04:31 PM

Do you mean PHP CL? Like perl scripts... To do specefic systems tasks instead of websites

jstarkey · 08-07-2003, 04:40 PM

Yeah, most of my cron jobs use PHP scripts, and I compile a seperate binary for them.

If you want to use PHP from the shell, just do:

PHP Code:


			
#!/path/to/php -q

<?php



echo "this is a shell script\n";



?>

And then execute that file.

script.php bla bla

lol, this is definitely the slowest moving thread in PHPB history

yeah, the params are in $argv, I believe. I do it on a couple scripts, but can't remember which array it is.
