Is there something that can transform a program made with php to shell-script?
 

I would to know if there is a program that can transform a source originally made with php to shell-script?
I think the problem is the html, forms and thinks like this. I almost didn't used javascript, so i think this would not be a problem.

Hi

I often write shell scripts, and since i'm confortable with PHP i prefer it to bash and the likes.

On Debian first
apt-get install php4-cli
Note it installs a separate php.ini file you might want to edit.

Then just prefix your scripts with path to php, like e.g.
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
echo "Hi there";
?>

Make the file executable, and you have a shell script.

Hope this helps,
Guttorm.

But, how about forms and thinks like this. Will it appear?

When you execute the shell script, it will display HTML, if that's what the program outputs.

Shell scripts are usually not very user interactive - I don't think I understand what you're trying to do. If you need HTML rendering, I dont think there's another way except thru a web-server and using a browser. It would be possible to output the HTML and then get the HTML rendered in a web-broswser, but is that really a shell-script?

If you need a lot of interactivety, you need to rewrite everything that has to do with output and input from the users. I suggest looking into ncurses, http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.ncurses.php

you can interact with STDIN like you would a normal file.. somthing like this..
as Guttorm said.. you cant render html without a browser.. if this is to be all command line maybe you could use lynx to dispay your html.. or forget the html all together..
