Sending file from command line

[adam525]

I have a php script that takes a csv file from an http post and converts it to and excel file and then moves it to a different directory.

Is there an easy way to send the file to it from the command line instead of over http?

I have php-cli working, and have been searching everywhere. All I need to do is pass the csv to my php script from the command line like...

./convert.php < test.csv

I'm just not sure what to change in the code to make the script take the file from the cmd line instead of a post.

Thanks in advance...

I'm not sure if/how you could use the "< file" format, but you could pass the path to the file as an argument and grab it from the $argv array:

/usr/bin/php -f your_script.php path/to/file.csv

<?php
if($argc > 1) { // got at least one arg
   $fileToParse = $argv[1];  // $argv[0] is current script, $argv[1] is first arg
}
