I have seen a number of folks (in irc://irc.freenode.net #Exponential) recently ask about the subject of php-cli and Exponential. Many seem to be without a php-cli executable binary and looking to find, install or build from source and install php-cli. I have for some time been offering compiled php-cli binaries at: <i>http://download.ezcommunity.net/php-cli/</i> I have ready to go php-cli binaries for GNU/Linux (php v4.3.x and php v4.4.4) and Windows (php v4.3 only). The binaries have been tested (lightly) and are known to work on just about any current glibc GNU/Linux distribution. Today I compiled the very latest php-cli (php v4.4.4) for GNU/Linux for an Exponential client in need of a stand alone php-cli (v4.4.x) binary. I have posted the packaged binary for others who do not have php-cli and have found they need php-cli in their Exponential development and production servers. <i>http://download.ezcommunity.net/php-cli/linux/php-4-4-4-cli.tar.gz</i> The packaged binary is simple for anyone with shell access (ssh) to upload to their Exponential installation and use it without having to ask your hosting provider to install php-cli (some hosting providers will not offer this service or the software). This compiled works out of the box. For those users who can, I still recommend compiling the standalone php-cli from source themselves. Here are the commands I used today to compile php-cli from source
# php-cli (php 4.4.4) compile instructions:
lynx http://www.php.net/get/php-4.4.4.tar.gz/from/a/mirror
tar -vzxf php-4.4.4.tar.gz
cd php-4.4.4
mkdir /usr/local/php-4-4-4-cli
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php-4-4-4-cli/php-cli --disable-cgi
make
make test
make install-cli
cd /usr/local/
tar -vzcf php-4-4-4-cli.tar.gz php-4-4-4-cli
For the rest ... enjoy the php-cli precompiled binary package!
Happy Hacking,
