PHP Linux Script Development Tips and Debugging Guide

PHP Linux Script Development Skills and Debugging Guide

1. Introduction
With the popularity of Linux operating system and the increasing demand of developers for server-side scripts, Using PHP for Linux script development has become a common choice. This article will introduce some PHP Linux script development techniques and debugging guidelines, and provide specific code examples to help readers better understand and apply them.

2. Tips

1. Use absolute paths
   When writing Linux scripts, file paths are often used. To avoid errors caused by path issues, it is recommended to always use absolute paths. We can get the path of the current script execution through dirname(__FILE__), and then splice it with other paths to ensure the correctness of the path.

Sample code:

$basePath = dirname(__FILE__);
$file = $basePath . '/data.txt';
// 其他操作

2. Set execution permissions
   In the Linux environment, the script file needs to be set to executable permissions before it can be executed. You can use the chmod command to set permissions for script files. In order to avoid manually setting permissions, we can add a piece of code to the script to actively set permissions.

Sample code:

// 设置脚本文件为可执行权限
chmod(__FILE__, 0755);

3. Handling command line parameters
   When executing a PHP script on the command line, we often need to pass parameters to the script. PHP provides $argv and $argc global variables for obtaining the value and number of command line parameters.

Sample code:

// 检查命令行参数数量是否符合要求
if ($argc != 3) {
    echo "Usage: php script.php param1 param2
";
    exit(1);
}

// 获取命令行参数值
$param1 = $argv[1];
$param2 = $argv[2];

// 其他操作

4. Calling system commands
   PHP allows calling system commands, we can use exec, shell_exec# Functions such as ## and system execute system commands and obtain their output.

// 执行系统命令
$result = exec('ls -l');

// 输出结果
echo $result;

Using error log
1. During the development process, we often encounter various mistake. For better debugging, logging can be added to the PHP script to record key information.
   

// 打开错误消息记录
ini_set('log_errors', 1);
ini_set('error_log', '/var/log/php_error.log');

// 在出现错误时，将错误信息写入日志文件
error_log('Error message');

Output debugging information
2. During the debugging process, some intermediate results need to be output for observation. You can use the
   echo or var_dump function to output the value of a variable.

$var = 'Debug message';
echo $var;

$array = [1, 2, 3];
var_dump($array);

Using the Xdebug plug-in
3. Xdebug is a debugger and analyzer tool for PHP that can provide more powerful debugging capabilities. We can install the Xdebug plug-in in the Linux environment and enable debugging mode in the PHP configuration file.
   

This article introduces some tips and debugging guides for PHP Linux script development, including using absolute paths, setting execution permissions, processing command line parameters, calling system commands, etc. I hope these tips and guidelines can help readers better develop PHP Linux scripts and improve development efficiency. At the same time, it is recommended to use tools such as error logs, output debugging information, and Xdebug plug-ins for debugging to better locate and solve problems.
