I just recently downloaded the PHP manual and saw that you can use PHP in the command line, is it possible to make scripts in PHP that can do system administration just like Perl ?
Yes, but you'll need the CGI-version of PHP and not the Apache loadable one.
I have that no worries, but can it do what Perl can do (hopefully better =) ?
forgot to say in my last post...
take for example Webmin (www.webmin.com) would I be able to make something like that in PHP ?
I can say 90% yes.Just now i working to a site administration tool with Php and Ldap and all my "external" scripts are maden in Php.(I do not know Perl).At this time I have no problem that can't be solved with Php (yet...) and I hope no in the future too.
