Using UpdateGreeting.php with PHP-CLI
December 31, 2010, 11:07:26 am
I've been switching all my cron scripts from wget to php-cli.  Most are working fine, but I don't understand how to pass the additional arguments (ct, gt, and id) to the update greeting script when not using a URL.  I'm sure its something simple. 

Thanks.

Perhaps the same solution we are using for UpdateMembershipRecord.php will work for this PHP...

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash

umask 002
DATETIME=`/bin/date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`

PARAMS='-sdefault -ucivicrm-cron -pPASSWORD'

cd /srv/www/sites/domain.org/www/sites/all/modules/civicrm
/usr/bin/nice -n19 /usr/bin/php bin/UpdateMembershipRecord.php $PARAMS 2>&1 | /usr/bin/tee -a /srv/www/reports/$DATETIME.cir.civicrm-civimember.UpdateMembershipRecord.php.sh.log

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think that helps (or else I'm not understanding something).

The UpdateGreeting.php script has more arguments in addition to the username, password that all the cron scripts share.  Specifically, it takes greeting type and contact type arguments.  When invoked by URL, these are passed by 'gt=' and 'ct='.

I don't know how to pass these arguments in the CLI call.   Maybe I'm just not getting it, or maybe it is impossible.

Thanks.

I would think per my example code you would simply add those additional args to the PARAMS variable before calling UpdateGreeting.php, no?

Can you do what you want to do with wget, or not even that way? If it is possible with wget, then it should be possible with CLI.

Thanks, that is exactly my question.  With wget I would include, for instance:

user=USERNAME&pass=PASSWORD&ct=CONTACT_TYPE

So I guess you're saying that with CLI I can just do this in the params?

-uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD -ctCONTACT_TYPE

I wasn't sure (because of the difference between 'user=USERNAME' and '-uUSERNAME') what the right format was for the additional arguments.

Exactly, change that variable to the command line params you need to send to this particular script, and give it a whirl!  ;D
