Question

I have a php page that runs on a local uri on a local nginx server. It is called like this:
http://example.dev/index.php?v=var

Is it possible to call this php page from inside a Bash script in order to make it run just like I do by typing the uri in Firefox?

I tryed to access the script directly in cli:

php /home/public_html/example.dev/index.php

but it didn’t work (it looks that php running under fastCGI and PHP-CLI work somehow differently).

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Try GNU Wget

wget http://example.dev/index.php?v=var

or cURL

curl http://example.dev/index.php?v=var

to run it like a browser would.

Note: But this is not CLI in any way.
