Examples

Convert date formats

This converts mysql time to epoch unix timestamp and back $timestamp = strtotime($mysqltime); echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $timestamp);

Run code from CLI

php -r "phpinfo();"

Show php CLI env vars

This shows the location of the ini file used for CLI. php -i

Enable Errors

Set display_errors = On in php.ini, or in a php file add:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

Disable timeout

set_time_limit(0);
ini_set ('max_execution_time', 0);

Random numbers

rand() ; # random int
rand(1,10) ; # random int between 1 and 10
rand(100,1000)/100 ; # workaround for generating floats with 2 decimal points
