STDOUT is the normal output for php.exe.

To write to the STDERR, you can ...

php -r "file_put_contents('php://STDERR', 'This is an error');" >
PHP_STDOUT.txt 2> PHP_STDERR.txt

2011-06-20 17:26 16 PHP_STDERR.txt
2011-06-20 17:26 0 PHP_STDOUT.txt

OOI. If you want to use PHP scripts to act as a filter. E.g.

command | php script, then read

STDOUT and STDERR with php.exe and php-win.exe on Win XP

I am trying to figure out how this all works on Win XP...

When I call php.exe or php-win.exe from another script (AutoHotKey in my case), do both of
these programs use stdout and stderr? I know php.exe has a console window and php-win.exe
does not, but just need to know how they output the results.

Thanks

What about php-win.exe? Does it write to STDOUT as well even though there is no console
window?

Thanks

Running ...

php-win -r "echo file_put_contents('php://STDERR', 'This is an error');"

outputs nothing.

Same command with outputs redirected ...

php-win -r "echo file_put_contents('php://STDERR', 'This is an
error');" > STDOUT.txt 2>STDERR.txt

outputs the 2 text files - the content of STDOUT.txt is 16.

So, you can capture STDOUT and STDERR and NOT have a console box.

Richard.
