FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Shell Arguments for PHP CLI

Latest Stable Version Total Downloads Latest Unstable Version License

A convenience class for loading arguments passed through the command line ($argv)

Installation

Shell Arguments for PHP CLI is installed via Composer. To install, use composer require pointybeard/shell-args or add "pointybeard/shell-args": "~1.0" to your composer.json file.

Usage

Include pointybeard\ShellArgs\Lib in your scripts then create an instance of ArgumentIterator. It will automatically look for arguments, or you can pass it your own argument string (see below).

Syntax Supported

This library supports the most common argument formats. Specifically -x,--long, /x. It also supports use of = or : as a delimiter. The following are examples of supported argument syntax:

-x
--aa
--database=blah
-d:blah
--d blah
--database-name=blah
/d blah
-u http://www.theproject.com
-y something
-p:\Users\pointybeard\Sites\shellargs\
-p:"\Users\pointybeard\Sites"
-h:local:host
/host=local-host

Examples

Running the Test Suite

You can check that all code is passing by running the following command from the shell-args folder:

./vendor/bin/phpunit --bootstrap vendor/autoload.php tests/ArgumentsTest

If you want to run code coverage (e.g. --coverage-html tests/reports/ ...) you'll need an older version of xdebug (for PHP 5.6). To install this, use the following commands:

pecl channel-update pecl.php.net
pecl install xdebug-2.5.5

You'll need enable xdebug.so. Try adding the following to /etc/php/5.6/mods-available

; configuration for php xdebug module
; priority=20
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20131226/xdebug.so 

Then enable it with phpenmod xdebug. The above works on Ubuntu, however, paths might be different for other distros.
