I’ve discovered two things about command line PHP today. \u00a0I’ll share them here just in case you missed them too.<\/p>\n

First, the “-f” parameter is optional<\/strong>. \u00a0I’m not sure when the change happened, but I’m pretty sure back when I started using it, it was required. \u00a0Now, instead of “php -f some.php” you can run just “php some.php”.<\/p>\n
