We have a server with windows 2008 R2 with PHP5 installed. I can run php files from the command line using
php -f file.php
with no problem. However, when I try to run PHP code inline nothing happens:
php -r ‘echo “hello world”;’
Literally no output.
Do I need to configure something in php.ini to get the -r to work?
Thanks!
TYPE
php -a
(Response “Interactive mode enabled”)
TYPE:
<?php echo "Hello, world!"; ?>HIT ENTER
TYPE: (Hold down control key) z
HIT ENTER
Have a look in your php.ini file to see if exec() is disabled.
I tried this and it worked.
I got the answer on another forum. Turns out I had to swap the quotation marks:
php -r “echo ‘Hello world’;”
