Björn, Thank you for your reply. I don't attend this forum for nice atmosphere, even though it seems to be granted and I like being here. However, I come here to get and possibly share knowledge, so whenever I face a strong argument, I consider it and try to make use of it. Therefore I don't find your reply rude, I appreciate any relevant response :) <i>You eZ partner i would recommend you step away from a non CLI PHP environment espacially if it is your common one. I guess you know the implications. Or force your host to use CLI PHP, because he is currently not doing his job right.</i> At some level I agree with your thinking, as I usually oppose any unnecessary, non-best-practice core modifications, not only in eZ publish context. I'm working on moving to a more dedicated hosting solution, too. Unfortunately, some things cannot be done overnight, some things cannot be shaped the way we want, at least not at once. Meanwhile, I want to at least find and explore a bit all the possibilities.
I finally found the topic:
http://ez.no/community/forum/suggestions/workaround_for_installations_without_phpcli
You wrote there:
<i>...Ok, I have to say that may saying "some things simply do not work" it not correct in the sense.
The cli executes in a certain way and sets the enviroment just right. (cwdir, headers)
To simulate this you need to turn some switches for a non cli version. (like -C,-q and maybe others)
So in general </i><b>it is just easier to have the CLI</b><i> when working with comandline scripts, because you cannot forget to set some flags that may lead to unwanted errors.
I guess most users are not aware when to set which flag. They might start bug reporting and having issues that came up because they execute php a certain. With the cli you simply do not have this issue...</i> My PHP experience tells me that it may be exactly the way you described it - it is easier (and correct) to have/use CLI. Still, it's only an interface which means it may be possible to modify/change/customize it. So far I don't see why I shouldn't proceed. It seems like several people have had it running all ok. Please correct me, if I'm wrong. It seems that I will have to develop my own solution, I'll share it for discussion when it's ready (if it is :)
Greetings,
Piotrek
