Hey guys,

I'm not much of a UNIX buff, but I'm wondering, is it possible to send plain text PHP/HTML to the CLI tool, and have it spit out the processed PHP/HTML?

And if so, how?

Thanks,
Oliver

Sure... it's called a web browser. Something like:

mozilla somefile.php
or
mozilla somefile.html

It will open mozilla (if you have it installed in your path) with the file as input and it will "process" it.

Depending on how you installed PHP (I used the entropy.ch package), you can just do:

Code:
/usr/bin/php test.php

If you want to capture the output into a file, do:

Code:
/usr/bin/php test.php > testoutput.html

Thats what I wanted to hear .

Is the OS X default installation available at /usr/bin/php?

In Mac OS X 10.3, yes

It should be noted that this is exactly what HyperEdit uses to do live PHP rendering.
