Running via the CLI

- -

- As well as calling an applications Controllers via the URL in a browser they can also be loaded via the command-line interface (CLI). -

- - - - - - -

What is the CLI?

- -

The command-line interface is a text-based method of interacting with computers. For more information, check the Wikipedia article.

- - - -

Why run via the command-line?

- -

- There are many reasons for running CodeIgniter from the command-line, but they are not always obvious.

- -
    -
  • Run your cron-jobs without needing to use wget or curl
    • -
  • Make your cron-jobs inaccessible from being loaded in the URL by checking for $this->input->is_cli_request()
    • -
  • Make interactive "tasks" that can do things like set permissions, prune cache folders, run backups, etc.
    • -
  • Integrate with other applications in other languages. For example, a random C++ script could call one command and run code in your models!

Let's try it:  Hello World!

- -

Let's create a simple controller so you can see it in action. Using your text editor, create a file called tools.php, and put the following code in it:

- - - -

Then save the file to your application/controllers/ folder.

- -

Now normally you would visit the your site using a URL similar to this:

- -example.com/index.php/tools/message/to - -

Instead, we are going to open Terminal in Mac/Lunix or go to Run > "cmd" in Windows and navigate to our CodeIgniter project.

- -
- $ cd /path/to/project;
- $ php index.php tools message -
- -

If you did it right, you should see Hello World!.

- -
- $ php index.php tools message "John Smith" -
- -

Here we are passing it a argument in the same way that URL parameters work. "John Smith" is passed as a argument and output is: Hello John Smith!.

- -

That's it!

- -

That, in a nutshell, is all there is to know about controllers on the command line. Remember that this is just a normal controller, so routing and _remap works fine.
