php cli local copy

Post by esthon_wood »

hi everyone, my godaddy hosting account doesn't include the PHP command line interpreter. Someone told me that
it is sometimes possible to install a local copy of the CLI version of PHP inside your hosting directory, so if your hosting company is not willing to install it globally on the server you can see if they will at least install a local copy for you.
Is this possible? If so, where can I download the php cli? I have emailed godaddy about it but they haven't replied yet :(

Please, any help is much appreciated!
Thanks guys! :)

It's possible, but you will have to compile the php statically, yourself. (assuming you're on *nix hosting).
