Informations about the package php_shell
PHP Shell
PHP Shell is a PSR-0 compliant library for executing shell commands in a shell environment of your choosing (bash
and sh
currently supported).
Requirements
- PHP 5.3 or higher
proc_open
and related functions
Installation
The recommended way to install PHP Shell is as a PEAR extension:
Once installed, you can include the files in your project (assuming your PEAR directory is in the include_path
):
Alternatively, you can use a PSR-0 compliant autoloader that checks your PEAR path. You can install one with PEAR:
Include the above autoloader in your project:
require_once 'psr0.autoloader.php';
If you prefer to include the library source directly in your application, you may need to edit the shell
executable file to change the location of your system's PHP binaries. By default, PHP Shell uses /usr/bin/php
. Modify the first line of PHP_Shell/shell
with the new location. Other than that, you should be able to drop this into your project and start using it in your code.
To find out where your system's PHP binary is, open a terminal window and run
which php
Use
Use the static exec()
method of any class that extends \PHP_Shell\Shell
. The first argument (which is required) is the command to execute. Any additional arguments will be parsed into the command using vsprintf()
(vsprintf()
will only be run if there are more than one argument).
(The code above assumes you have a PSR-0 compliant autoloader in place. If not, make sure you've included PHP_Shell/Shell.php
as well as the file for the shell[s] you want to use.)
