My webserver has PHP Version 5.3.6, CGI version I think.
Can I invoke its command line if I have shell access to the server ?
Thanks for info.

I faintly remember something like, for version 4 and above (not sure), the
CLI is included in the package (not sure).

Might be down to the packager for the distro. I think my distro has core,
cgi and cli packages.

It depends on if you have permission to access the CLI processor.
Did you ask your hosting company? They should know how they set up
their servers.

I ask my ISP to installed CLI PHP. It replies saying it is already enabled.
Now I have to find out how to access.
Thanks.

Did you try ssh to access your (shared) server?
I see in your headers:
X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.3028
So my guess is you are on Windows.
The best safe program I know for windows is putty.
Get it here:
http://www.putty.org/
Which will send you to:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
You probably only need putty.exe.

Hmm strange. An ISP supplies an internet connection. Your ISP is
unlikely to have anything to do with your hosting company.
You should follow Jerry's advice and ask your HOSTING COMPANY.
Further, rather than asking them IF they have CLI PHP installed, ask
them HOW to access it!

A hosting company is an internet service provider: its just a different

Which says
"Well, it's a good all round package. remember, as with anything in
life, you get what you pay (indirectly!!) for. Free UK ISP provide what
you'd expect with the opportunity for lots of POP3 Email addresses, free
webspace, webmail client and so on. Most people generally want little
more than this."
I.e. they themselves clearly place hosted services as an important part
of 'what an ISP is'

I was given shell access. After fiddling with it, first with:
php -v: out of memory
php aa2.php: : out of memory
Then I tried:
.. aa2.php
But strange. In aa2.php, I have:
echo "123 cli\n";
echo "Date: " . date("Y.m.d H:i:s");
I get the followings:
==start-log==
[~]# . publci_html/aa2.php public_html/aa2.php
123 cli\n
-jailshell: public_html/aa2.php: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token
`('
-jailshell: public_html/aa2.php: line 3: `echo "Date: " . date("Y.m.d
H:i:s"); '
==end-log==
It seems I don't need <?php ..... ?>
But I still have errors.
Gurus please tell me what is this CLI thingie ?
Thanks.

That's wrong. The "." command just reads the file for shell commands.
it just so happens that your first echo line is also valid shell syntax.

That's because the second echo line is NOT valid shell syntax.

Yes, you do.

You must start your script with <?php and end it with ?>. You can then
invoke it like this:
# php -q myscript.php
You can also put a shebang line before the opening <?php, like this:
#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?php
echo "123 cli\n";
echo "Date: " . date("Y.m.d H:i:s");
?>
Then if you chmod +x the file, you can invoke it directly like this:
# ./myscript.php

You are not executing those echo commands in PHP. You are executing them
in something called "jailshell". The syntax for the two things is not
the same.

The plural of datum is not "facts".
A collection of facts is not "knowledge".

Hi folks, this 'out of memory' thing, how to deal with it ?
My "aa2.php':
#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?php
echo "123 cli\n";
echo "Date: " . date("Y.m.d H:i:s");
?>

Most likely it's not meant for you to be able to run PHP from CLI but give you
a way to manipulate your own files.
If you want proper shell access, get your self a VPS (poor mans option) or a
VM from one of the many providers out there (avoid beyondvps.com).

A VPS is good (I use them), but they also have maintenance
considerations. If the op isn't a good Linux admin, I would highly
recommend a managed VPS.
