Using PHP for Command-Line Scripts
PHP scripts don’t need to be run from a web server—although that’s how the majority of PHP scripts are deployed. In this section, we’ll briefly look at how you can run PHP scripts from the command line. This allows you to query the MySQL server from the command line to generate reports and to import or export data.
Consider Example 14-5, which simply says “Hello, world!”.
Example 14-5. A PHP script to say hello
Type this in an editor and save it to a file called hello.cl.php.
You can run PHP scripts from the shell prompt or command window by running the PHP executable and passing the name of the script to it:
$
php hello.cl.php
Hello, world
If the operating system can’t find the php
executable, you’ll need to specify the full path to the file. On a Linux or Mac OS X system, this may be available as the file /usr/bin/php. If you’ve installed XAMPP, you can use the program /opt/lampp/bin/php on Linux, /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/bin/php on Mac OS X, and C:\Program Files\xampp\php\php.exe on Windows.
You can also have the operating system call the PHP program automatically when you run a PHP script from the command line. To do this on a Linux or Mac OS X system, you need to add this line to the top of each script to specify the PHP program to use:
#!path_to_the_php_executable
For example, you could specify the /usr/bin/php program in the hello.cl.pl script as follows:
#!/usr/bin/php

Did you find this message when creating a PHP file in VSCode?
Cannot validate since no PHP executable is set. Use the setting 'php.validate.executablePath' to configure the PHP executable.
1. First of all
Open settings.json and paste this line "php.validate.executablePath": "your_unit:/xampp/php/php.exe"
, paste this in the last line of your settings.json.
Ok, the annoying message does not pop up anymore, and now?.
That's all
not kidding really😄 but... we want to debug PHP also in VSCode right?.
2. CRTL+SHIFT+P
type ext install PHP Debug
and install the first match.
Run XAMPP server, create a php file like test.php with phpinfo[]; open it in your browser localhost/test.php
copy the HTML source [what you see] and paste it into here: xdebug.org/wizard now hit analise my phpinfo[] output.
Follow the instruction and download
the .dll file, install it in the folder your_unit:\xampp\php\ext .
3. Almost done!
Now open you php.ini from XAMPP and paste the code in the very last line
[XDebug] xdebug.remote_enable = 1 xdebug.remote_autostart = 1 zend_extension = "you_unit:\xampp\php\ext\downloadedfile.dss
Save it!
Now, restart XAMPP and VSCode and you should be done!
Last thing
Wondering how it works?
Open your project on your browser, set a stop point in VSCode and see the magic!
You can follow the documentation at xdebug.org and also at VSCode extension page.
Thanks for read, it's my really first post
The default path of the Php should also be found in Windows. In Windows, there is an ini file. You can access PHP with an Apache server. The installation directory for Apaches is first searched for ini, as indicated. In case C:/program files/apache group/apache -f, c:/apache.
