| 01:57.24 | leinaD | is anyone here familiar with running php scripts from the command line? |
| 01:57.37 | wps | sorry, I am not |
| 01:58.42 | bigdog_ut | yeah |
| 01:58.49 | leinaD | you are, bigdog_ut? |
| 01:58.56 | wps | bigdog_ut is good at everything |
| 01:59.00 | leinaD | cool |
| 01:59.05 | bigdog_ut | unfortunately |
| 01:59.11 | leinaD | I don't even know if what I'm trying to do is possible |
| 01:59.19 | wps | tying balloon animals... sailing boats... writing limerics |
| 01:59.47 | bigdog_ut | k...what are you trying to do leinaD |
| 01:59.52 | leinaD | but, I'm trying to put together a set of tools in PHP which I can pipe stuff through |
| 02:00.03 | leinaD | so I can, say, cat file | handler.php |
| 02:00.13 | bigdog_ut | yeah you can do that |
| 02:00.22 | leinaD | that's not the complicated part ;) |
| 02:00.41 | leinaD | I've got a script that basically does nothing but read one line at a time from stdin and pass it to a function called handler |
| 02:00.52 | bigdog_ut | k |
| 02:01.12 | leinaD | this script is supposed to be included by every tool I write, each of which will implement the function handler(), which will do whatever I want. |
| 02:01.30 | bigdog_ut | k |
| 02:01.31 | leinaD | So, what I'm thinking is that I'll write up a php.ini with auto_prepend=stdin.php |
| 02:01.38 | leinaD | (with the path and everything) |
| 02:02.17 | leinaD | and then include that with the -c option |
| 02:02.18 | leinaD | like so |
| 02:02.29 | leinaD | #!/usr/bin/php -q -c /home/dan/bin/tools/include/ |
| 02:02.40 | leinaD | which, incidentally, is exactly what I'm doing |
| 02:03.03 | bigdog_ut | k |
| 02:03.09 | leinaD | it's giving the error Error in argument 1, char 3: option not found |
| 02:03.17 | leinaD | I don't know what this means, and I don't know what it's referring to :'( |
| 02:04.58 | leinaD | i.e. if it's referring to linetest (the script I'm calling directly) or the php.ini file or stdin.php |
| 02:05.56 | bigdog_ut | sounds like the one that is reading stdin |
| 02:06.02 | bigdog_ut | or the argument |
| 02:06.15 | leinaD | k |
| 02:06.20 | leinaD | all I'm doing it ./linetest |
| 02:06.22 | leinaD | (no arguments) |
| 02:06.34 | bigdog_ut | does it want an argument? |
| 02:07.21 | leinaD | nope |
| 02:08.02 | leinaD | it's really simple |
| 02:08.16 | leinaD | trying something now though, to see if the code is working |
| 02:10.23 | leinaD | nope |
| 02:10.27 | leinaD | readline isn't installed |
| 02:10.34 | bigdog_ut | oh |
| 02:10.42 | bigdog_ut | are you trying to use readline? |
| 02:10.50 | leinaD | yeah but that's not the problem I was having earlier |
| 02:13.15 | bigdog_ut | do yu have error reporting turned on in php.ini? |
| 02:13.37 | leinaD | yeah |
| 02:13.39 | leinaD | all the way up |
| 02:14.46 | bigdog_ut | and you are still getting the argument error? |
| 02:15.47 | *** join/#uphpu tierra (tierra@c-24-10-226-227.client.comcast.net) |
| 02:15.54 | leinaD | nope but I got rid of the line to include the php.ini file too |
| 02:17.10 | bigdog_ut | and that worked? |
| 02:17.18 | leinaD | well, it got rid of the error |
| 02:17.22 | leinaD | but it's not doing what I want ;) |
| 02:17.30 | bigdog_ut | why did you pass the -q to the script? |
| 02:17.53 | leinaD | to suppress HTML headers, 'cause it's being run from the command line |
| 02:18.08 | bigdog_ut | what version of php are you using? |
| 02:19.09 | leinaD | one sec |
| 02:19.31 | leinaD | 4.3.8 (cgi) (built: Jul 16 2004 09:23:33) |
| 02:21.45 | bigdog_ut | run php -h and see if the -q option is there? i dont think it is |
| 02:22.00 | *** join/#uphpu tierra_ (tierra@c-24-10-226-227.client.comcast.net) |

| 02:35.33 | leinaD | ok new question |
| 02:35.50 | leinaD | I'm using fgets, and I want it to keep fgets'ing until it hits EOF |
| 02:36.08 | leinaD | nm, got it :) |
| 02:36.23 | bigdog_ut | yeah |
| 02:36.49 | bigdog_ut | on my php 4.3.8 i dont have the -q option? i think that might be your problem |
| 02:37.36 | bigdog_ut | take that out and see if you script gets that error again |
| 02:40.02 | leinaD | mmkay |
| 02:40.30 | bigdog_ut | what is this set too? register_argc_argv? |
| 02:41.53 | leinaD | on |
| 02:42.00 | leinaD | may I paste a bit of code? |
| 02:42.19 | leinaD | (five lines) |
| 02:43.04 | bigdog_ut | yeah that is fine |
| 02:43.13 | bigdog_ut | your paste it to me only |
| 02:56.10 | bigdog_ut | so is it all working leinaD |
| 02:56.11 | bigdog_ut | ? |
| 02:56.59 | leinaD | yep |
| 02:57.33 | leinaD | It's not automatically including the file like I'd like it to, but that's not such a big deal. Thanks for all your help :) and for putting up with the occasional stupidity |
| 02:59.31 | bigdog_ut | its not including the php.ini file? |
| 03:00.55 | leinaD | it wasn't supposed to include it, it was supposed to parse it ;) |
| 03:01.10 | leinaD | and I'm not telling it to any more |
| 03:01.28 | bigdog_ut | but that is the only thing not working that you want to work right? |
| 03:01.30 | leinaD | I'm just doing include('include/stdin.php') on the first line of every script I write, which isn't that big of a deal |
| 03:01.36 | leinaD | yes |
| 03:06.26 | bigdog_ut | k...did you compile your own php? |
| 03:06.48 | leinaD | no, and I don't have root access to this workstation anyway |
| 03:07.25 | bigdog_ut | k let me check something |
| 03:08.01 | bigdog_ut | mine works fine with -c and a directory after it |
| 03:08.48 | bigdog_ut | are you sure that the direcorty contains a php.ini file |
| 03:10.04 | leinaD | yep |
| 03:11.18 | bigdog_ut | have you tried passing the file name too absolute path with filename? |
| 03:11.28 | leinaD | nope |
| 03:11.30 | leinaD | I'll try that now |
| 03:11.33 | bigdog_ut | k |
| 03:12.45 | leinaD | and it's meant to be an absolute path, right? |
| 03:13.48 | bigdog_ut | it will take a absolute directory or absolute dir/filename |
| 03:14.38 | bigdog_ut | if you are only wanting to change a couple ini values then you can use the -d option to pass those |
| 03:15.24 | bigdog_ut | like this: |
| 03:15.41 | leinaD | yeah but if I'm going to do that I'd might as well just put that one line in there. |
| 03:15.48 | bigdog_ut | #!/usr/bin/php -d auto_prepend_file=/path/here/filename |
| 03:16.02 | bigdog_ut | true |
| 03:16.29 | leinaD | and then I can set all of the values to what I want in the included file |
| 03:16.37 | leinaD | that'd actually work quite well |
| 03:16.47 | bigdog_ut | you could do that |
| 03:17.22 | leinaD | okay I seriously need to bump up the thermostat in this here room |
| 03:17.24 | leinaD | it's freezing |
| 03:17.52 | bigdog_ut | anyone using gentoo here? |
