Date: 07/14/06 (PHP Development) Keywords: php, security, web I was wondering, just how many people write PHP to be console based "applications"? I find myself more and more using the language with the #!/usr/bin/php at the top to make it an executable script. I've found some great uses, one of my projects in fact is a SHOUTcast Automatic DJ system, customizable and modular of course, but it needs to be purely console based for the simple fact that the person I'm writing it for and myself want security and don't care about a web interface for this as it's unnessicary and very bloating. He'll want a web interface later, but I figure that can be done once I lay out the "application" in console, yanno? Back to what I was posting here about, I wanted to know how many people are using PHP in the command line environment as handwritten "app" to be able to do something or another. Curiosity gets the best of me, and if the response is high, I'll go ahead and post my library of functions i've found, written myself, compiled, and edited for CLE usage for everyone else to enjoy and use as well.
