PHP Standalone - keyboard to screen

PHP is a web language. Yes. And No. You can use it "standalone" too, and we often do so; to develop a whole lot of functions for web use in PHP, then duplicates in some other language, would be frankly silly after all.

And so it is that during the current course, I've been running rather more demos from the command line than I usually would - it suits the group, and works well. And I've made an interesting discovery - that the phpinfo function reformats its output well for the command line. Let me show you ...

grahamellis$ php

<?php phpinfo() ?>

phpinfo()

etc

allow_call_time_pass_reference => On => On

allow_url_fopen => On => On

I never cease to be impressed with PHP ...
