Added method chaining and a silly beep() function. If only I could work out a decent CLS solution, nobody on the internet has one it seems...

Actually I was looking for something like this b4 I learned python for my scripting in linux. This is useful if u want to make a quick script to run cron or something instead of learning a new lang. I want to see this developed further please!

nice work!!, perhaps we could use it with cron job.
previously we used to write the following code for running any php process in background -

Code:

<?php
  $_GET['/url/from/your/routing/table'] = "";
  require 'index.php';
?>

php your-script.php
still this is working fine for us, i guess now we should give your CLI a try.

best wishes

I think I'll try this out. I like PHP on the command line and I love CI so I imagine this could be hugely useful.

Thanks for the effort!

How did you guys get on with this? Any tips or suggestions for the library?

I found a slightly better method than my URI extension here which will make getting CLI going on the command line easier.

holy shit. this is awesome.
thanks Phil. this is DOPE.

PS: If anyone's wondering why you wanna use this, think of cron jobs..

Thanks for this! This made my app much easier as I have a cron that grabs nightly updated data from another site. This way I can use the libraries and helpers that I created for the front end.

CLI library is now hosted on GitHub, but right now not actively developed.

Other than sorting out a clear-screen option I can't see anywhere interesting to take it.

I don't understand how the library file "MY_URI" is used.

The wiki says, put it in the app/library folder, then add some lines to your config, then call your CLI script. Where do the functions in the MY_URI come in? Can you post some more usage examples.
