-The CLI (command line interface) SAPI has been introduced
-with a goal of making PHP better at supporting the creation of
-stand alone applications.
-
-It is based on CGI SAPI with all CGI specific things removed.
-
-The main differences between the two:
-
-* CLI is started up in quiet mode by default.
- (-q switch kept for compatibility)
-* It does not change the working directory to that of the script.
- (-C switch kept for compatibility)
-* Plain text error message
-* $argc and $argv registered irrespective of the register_argc_argv
- php.ini setting.
-* implicit_flush always on
-* -r option which allows execution of PHP code directly from
- the command line (e.g. php -r 'echo md5("test");' )
-* Other more sophisticated command line switches (see: man php)
-* max_execution_time is set to unlimited, overriding php.ini setting.
