Slow Down The Output From A DOS / Windows Command Prompt
I have lots of experience of writing php scripts that are run in the context of a webserver and almost no experience of writing php scripts for CLI or GUI output. I have used the command line for linux but do not have much experience with DOS. Lets say I have php script that is:
<?php
echo('Hello world');
for ($idx = 0 ; $idx < 100 ; $idx++ )
{
echo 'I am line '. $idx . PHP_EOL;
}
Then, I run it in my DOS Command prompt:
# php helloworld.php
Now this will spurt out the output quickly and i have to scroll the DOS command window up to see the output. I want to see the output one 'screen full' at a time. How do you do that from the perspective of a DOS user? Furthermore, although this is not my main main question, I would be also interested in knowing how to make the php script 'wait for input' from the command prompt.

Show CMD Command Prompt Window (Windows)?
Usually, you would want to hide the CMD window. In my case, I'll be doing some tests with PHP+CLI. It will be mighty useful if PHP could be made to launch a CLI popup. But alas, I can't find a way to make it to. The following command should have made it work, but it doesn't: START "PHP AE2" CMD /K DIR The PHP code in question is based on proc_open(): $proc=proc_open($cmd,array( 0=>array('pipe','r'), // STDIN 1=>array('pipe','w'), // STDOUT [code].... Although the command runs fine, the popup doesn't show up. I suspect this is a feature of Apache. Is there a way to completely detach the CMD from its parent? Also, I'll be substituting DIR with a small script/batch/program that initializes the environment, so it is important that I can execute a program after the popup shows up.

Calling Windows Program From File (through Command-prompt)
I have tried calling a windows program several ways and I have gotten the same result each time. The program opens up on my machine (without a GUI) but never closes each means that the browser is forever loading. Though when executing the query string manually through the command line prompt the program closes. Not only that, but the program doesn't actually execute (it is just launched i.e. there aren't any results). I just want to know the proper way of starting a program with switches through PHP. here is the query string that works (closes the program after executing): "C:Program Files (x86)Softinterface, IncConvert PowerPointConvertPPT.exe" /S "C:UsersFarzadDesktopupload est.ppt" /T "C:UsersFarzadDesktopupload est.png" /C 18

Tracert :: Passing Command To Command Prompt Via Exec
I want to execute a "tracert" command in the command prompt via php (using windows) I've managed to use passthru() to open the command prompt (but it doesn't allow me to use it) and when I close it, it outputs the command prompt output in the browser. I don't mind whether the result is passed back to the browser to stays in the command prompt window (but that would use exec() I would think). So how can I tell the command prompt that launches to execute the line tracert 192.190.201.273 So far my experimental code is: <?php passthru("c:windowssystem32cmd.exe"); ?> EDIT: my backslashes have been stripped from the path, but you know what I mean!

External Command Prompt
I have a .bat file stored locally that I would like launched from PHP. Here's the code I've tried using: exec("cmd /K test.bat"); The PHP script that contains the code above hangs when executed. What is the correct way to do this? Or is there a way to have PHP display the output from the .bat file on the fly (as opposed to waiting for the .bat file to execute THEN dump the output?) .

Get Rows In Mysql At Command Prompt
This question really belongs more in a mySQL group, but my NNTP server doesn't have a mySQL group available. I'm trying to get number of rows in a table without doing a "select * from table" or even a "select id from table". I know in PHP you put: mysql_numrows() but what's the equivelant in command prompt? I searched mysql.net and can't find anything.

Sockets Enabled But Not In Command Prompt
I have a slight problem that I can't seem to figure out on my Vista machine running Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.2.3. I have sockets enabled, and all runs fine when I test it in the browsers (any of them). Main focus would just be socket_create for now. Now when I test this by command prompt (and of course using correct heading info #!/usr/bin/php -q), it gives a "Call to undefined function socket_create". So I looked further into this, just to make sure sockets were enabled, I used phpinfo() and sure enough its there. But when I run the same script by command prompt, everything is there except sockets. It just does not show up. Here is the test script I am using. if (($master = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP)) < 0) { echo "socket_create() failed, reason: " . socket_strerror($master) . ""; }else{ echo " socket_create() worked!!"; } As I said above, it works fine with a browser, but does not work by command prompt.

Navigate Password Prompt That's Going To Follow Issued Su/sudo Command?
Since hearing about __HALT_COMPILER in PHP, I've been doing some experimentation with a single-file PHP installers (scripts containing a compressed archive of a filetree for a webapp). It seems to be easy enough to generate a script that contains both the archive and the logic for unpacking it and taking care of configuration. But permissions/user related issues seem to be a bit more thorny. It's highly likely (except in suexec/CGI cases) the PHP process is running as whatever user the webserver runs as, and so it likely doesn't have permissions to write in whatever directory it's running in. I suppose this issue can be skirted if the user knows how to temporarily change the permissions of the directory targeted for the install, but part of the idea behind single-file installs is to simplify what the user has to do, so I don't like this much. More important, though, once the install is done, it seems to me the files and subdirectories are going to be owned by the webserver user, and they'll therefore be unmanageable by the user (except via more web scripts). I've thought a little bit about trying to use su or sudo to fix this. However, I'm not sure how to navigate the password prompt that's going to follow an issued su/sudo command. It's my understanding sudo also may be limited to a subset of users. Is there a good way to create PHP installer scripts which write files that have user-tinkering-friendly ownership and permissions?

Two Javascript Questions About (a) Forms And (b) Prompt Windows?
I have two questions about Javascript:How can I prevent my fields from being cleared when I try to cancel a form submission by returning false in the onsubmit function? I have a form, which has the onsubmit value "return validate()". If validate() finds an error in the fields, it returns false, which should stop the form submission. It does, but all my fields get cleared, and the browser ignores the Javascript I run before the return statement, like document.write. Example: function validate() { //If there's an error: document.write("Error!"); return false; } How can I prevent this?Can I have a form inside a prompt window (a popup)?I have not only failed to put several inputs in one Javascript prompt(), but also to put a submittable form inside a prompt window. I have a feeling that this is not possible with Javascript, and would like to know how to achieve this.

Slow Command Line Performance?
I have a simple PHP app that prints 'hello world'. When I run it from the command line it takes 6 seconds. Is this normal? It seems to take 1 seconds before "hello world" prints, then 5 seconds after.I am running PHP version 5.2.12 on Windows Server 2008 R2. Could this be an install issue, or is it typical? I did a manual install of PHP then added whatever components were needed to run Drupal. The only PHP addon I remember adding was MDB2, CGI support is there too. I am used to a Lua project I run from the command line, hundreds of lines of code that will run in under a second.I have some unit tests I run from the command line, and already with just a few they are very slow. I run them from Netbeans and the tests are still very slow. I run precisely this: C: emp>copy con test.php <?php print('hello, world'); [code].....

Java - Executing .jar File Through Cmd Prompt And Capturing Output?
I have a jar file of my application which has more than one class. The jar file is called by PHP through the command prompt. I am using the following PHP snippet to call the jar file. <?php $result=popen('java -jar D:\Development\Filehandler\dist\Filehandler.jar getConfigLang', "r"); while(!feof($result)){ print fread($result, 1024); flush(); } fclose($result); ?> The problem here is interesting. I am able to get the 'System.out.println' statements which are in the main function. But unable to get the output statements from other classes. I have tried with exec() also. The .jar is working fine and when called from the command prompt directly, its working fine. Is there a way to capture the whole output?

Write A Php Cli Password Prompt That Hides The Password In Windows?
I have spent several hours trying to find a means of writing a cross platform password prompt in php that hides the password that is input by the user. While this is easily accomplished in Unix environments through the use of stty -echo, I have tried various means of passthru() and system() calls to make windows do the same thing to no avail.I have tried: passthru('set /p pass=Password: '); system('echo %pass% > out.txt'); $pass = file_get_contents('out.txt', 'r');

Windows Program Command Exists
I can do this so easily in Unix: PHP Code: $msg = exec('whatis convert 2>&1'); echo $msg; However, in Windows using MS-DOS, I'm utterly lost. I am having to find out if ImageMagick is installed on a system for a function to operate (ImageMagick is required), and since this is a portable web application, you simply can't install ImageMagick everywhere you go. Therefore I need to know if the system home has ImageMagick or not, and in Unix, I simply do a "whatis convert" and I can tell, but since MS-DOS has no equivalent to "whatis" I can't figure it out, and just running the "convert" command within a recursive function onto thousands of images is just not a good idea.

Different Between Windows Cmd And PHP Exec() To Execute Command?
In my previous question.I had asked how to execute an external program [ fastcopy ] command line.But I found that the same command will work different in windows cmd mode and php exec().When I am running in windows cmd mode.The target program window was launched and did the job as it would. E.g: I am going copy several files to different removable disk and the program [ fastcopy ] could determine that if the same destination it will wait until the prev file was finished copy.In another words.If the files which will copy to the same destination would copied one by one , at the same time it copies other files to other destinations.But in PHP exec() command. The PHP will do the job behind for you,the program [ fastcopy window ] does't launch and lose the ability to copy to different destination at the same time.So, I just need some advices to make it clear why these happen?

Exec(): Quoting Full Command In Windows?
I've written a web application that makes use of exec() in order to run an external program. The program path is configurable and can be expected to have spaces on its name. As we all know, the Windows command prompt accepts spaces in file names or parameteres, you just have to double quote them: C:>C:Archivos de programaGraphicsMagick-1.3.12-Q16gm.exe "C:Archivos" no se reconoce como un comando interno o externo, programa o archivo por lotes ejecutable. C:>"C:Archivos de programaGraphicsMagick-1.3.12-Q16gm.exe" GraphicsMagick 1.3.12 2010-03-08 Q16 http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/ So far so good. The issue I'm facing is the usage of the exec() PHP function itself. Certain Windows servers require that you enclose the full command (program + arguments) in double quotes: exec('""C:Archivos de programaGraphicsMagick-1.3.12-Q16gm.exe" version"'); and other Windows servers require not to use double quotes: exec('"C:Archivos de programaGraphicsMagick-1.3.12-Q16gm.exe" version'); I can read the PHP_OS constant to detect whether the server runs Windows but I don't know what's the rule behind the quotes or not quotes subject. It if's explained in the PHP manual I cannot find it. Is is possible to determine programmatically if quotes are needed so I don't need to configure manually each instance of the application? Update #1: I was being misunderstood so I've reworded parts of the question to make it more clear. Update #2: I found a comment in the PHP manual that explains the exact reason why extra quotes are needed (PHP issues an internal call to cmd /c). I still don't know why this appears to be true or false depending on the system.
