Hi

I've "upgraded" to PHP5 on my windoze box and whilst I'm stumbling up
the learning curve quite happily, I'm a bit stuck at how to use the
php.exe CLI binary.

I've tried using "php -a" and other than sucking in everything I type
until I get bored and Ctrl-C it, I can't get it to do anything useful.

What I hope it will do is accept input from me and return the results -
am I on the right track or have I missed the point somewhere?

I have searched the 'net and the docm. but can't find anything relevant
- so if someone can get me going I'd be very appreciative. Funnily
enough, I have no problems at all in embedding (OK, so it's only
simple) PHP in my HTML, running it all thru my Abyss local webserver
and seeing my pages. I just want to be able to do CLI PHP'ing to test
out snippets...

Any help gratefully received.

Cheers and Happy New Year

Bill
