How are you running it from the command line?

php-cli

Has cli php changed recently?

I've got a php script (script1) that creates a php script (script2) by
opening a file and then writing to it. When I try to run it from the
command line script1 is simply copied to stdout. When I run it from the
browser it works as expected. The directory has 777 permissions so that
should not be the problem.

Any ideas?

Well you havn't given an example, and just say you're calling the script
from command line and it's outputting the script there. Are you maybe
just calling the php file without calling php first?

Is there more than one way? I suppose with and without the -f could
count as two ways, but the man page says without defaults to with so
they're really the same.

Of course not. php scripts are not executable. If I had tried to execute
it directly the shell would have told me that. If I had then set the
executable bit the shell would have tried to execute the contents of the
file and the shell would have given several error messages.

I repeat: is there more than one way to run a php script from the cli?

On *nix, you can add "#!/usr/bin/php" as first line and make file
executable (chmod +x).

I was just asking how you were running it, and havn't been given a
straight answer yet, so I'll assume you're doing something like this:

php /var/www/html/script.php

Functionally the same. php is still interpreting the script. The script
is still not an executable.

And, of course, the results are the same.

The problem is that php is *not* interpreting the script. It's acting
like 'cat'.

Have you looked at the error log? Is the php-cli package installed
correctly?

It sounds like you may use short tags " your cli php.ini

What does it show:

php -r 'phpinfo();' | grep short

Thank you. That was the problem.

Looks like I've got a habit to change and a lot of file maintenance to do.

Be careful. .BAT files are not executable, but you don't need to put
the command line processor in front do you?

You can quite easily turn ...

C:\PHP5\PHP.exe -f C:\Pathed\Directory\Script.php -- -script_arg1 -script_a=
rg2

into

Script -script_arg1 -script_arg2

No php.exe, no .php, no -f

See http://docs.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.commandline.ph p

You can even turn php scripts into filters ...

Script -script_arg1 -script_arg2 | Script2 -script_arg1 -script_arg2

sort of thing.
