Description

Running PHP from the command line (e.g. locally, via SSH clients etc.)

Goals

I know

• how to run PHP files from the command line
• the use cases for running PHP from the command line
• what to consider with respect to PHP.ini when working on the command line
• the meaning of CLI

I can

• run PHP files from the command line
• localise PHP on my platform using the command line
• query on the command line which PHP version is running
• query on the command line which PHP configuration is in effect
• start a test web server from the command line
