Abstract

As I mentioned in Chapter 2, most off-web programming you do will involve using the PHP CLI SAPI. It’s therefore important to have a good grasp of how to use it, know the options for configuring and running it, and understand how it differs from the web-based SAPIs you are used to using. Luckily, the differences are minimal, and many are intuitive, although it’s still worth having a thorough read of this chapter as the CLI SAPI forms the basis upon which most of your code will run.
