    CLI environment

    i'm trying to re-use scripts, typically called via a browser, in the php
    cli. the cli calls are made through cron jobs. i'm hitting some unknowns as
    to path info. here's the error i'm getting thus far:

    "PHP Warning: require_once(../../../../../../site.cfg.php): failed to open
    stream: No such file or directory in
    /var/www/html/dev/admin/cli/import.repair.o rders.cli.php on line 5"

    i'm executing the cli from:

    /home/me/www/dev/admin (www is a symlink to /var/www/html/)

    first, what is the current directory for php cli when executed from a cron?
    second, will i need to adjust the current directory or anything else so that
    other included/required files (normally accessed via a browser) are
    referenced correctly?

    thanks for your input.


    =============== ========

    here's the pertanent code...

    my include path is:

    /usr/share/pear

    in that directory i have a file named relative.path.p hp. its purpose is to
    abstract/simplify inclusionary script paths. it looks like:

    <?
    $parsedUri = dirname($_SERVE R['PHP_SELF']);
    $parsedUri .= substr($parsedU ri, -1) != '/' ? '/' : '';
    $relativeUri = str_replace('/', '', $parsedUri);
    $relativePath = strlen($parsedU ri) - strlen($relativ eUri) - 1;
    if ($relativePath < 0){ $relativePath = 0; }
    $relativePath = str_repeat('../', $relativePath);
    if (!$relativePath ){ $relativePath = './'; }
    ?>

    i'm wrapping the files i'm trying to re-use via cli in code similar to (call
    it, import.financia ls.cli.php):

    #!/usr/bin/php -q
    <?
    $cli = true;
    require_once 'relative.path. php';
    require_once $relativePath . 'site.cfg.php';
    require_once site::$rootDire ctory . 'admin/import.financia ls.php';
    ?>

    the site.cfg.php creates a singleton class 'site' and $rootDirectory would
    be the absolute path to the web root. import.financia ls.php begins like
    this:

    <?
    if (!$cli)
    {
    $pageTitle = 'Import Financials';
    $fullHeader = false;
    $securityEnable d = true;
    require_once 'relative.path. php';
    require_once $relativePath . 'site.cfg.php';
    require_once site::$includeD irectory . 'head.inc.php';
    }
    ?>

    however, as the error indicated, we never get to this point since
    import.financia ls.cli.php cannot find site.cfg.php (as it normally would if
    called from a browser).

    tia,

    me

      Hi Steve,

      the superglobal $_SERVER exists only, if PHP is running as a module or
      cgi (webserver). Use __FILE__ instead of $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].
      Or you can put a workaround in your cli wrapper, by setting
      $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] or other needed $_SERVER[*] variables.

          I beg to differ. Running print_r($_SERVE R) from the CLI outputs all
          sorts of stuff -- including PHP_SELF.

              You're right, i should think a while before posting such a wrong
              answer. Have confused it with $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_R OOT"] which isn't
              available from cli call.

              @steve:
              Forgott what i wrote, you're problem is not $_SERVER variable. Maybe
              setting current working directory to your root directory (/var/www/
              html/) could be a sollution.

                  Not surprising PHP can't find it seeing the file is searched 6 dir
                  levels up (probably your system root I'd say)

                  Perhaps you'd better opt for full paths instead of relative, in that case
                  it doesn't matter what the cwd is during execution of your script.

                  Opinions differ however on what's best practice, relative or absolute.
