CLI Tool Tutorials
A second build-along artifact, independent of the JSON HTTP API track: a small command-line PHP tool with no framework, run directly with the php CLI.
Learning Path
| # | Tutorial | Concepts |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Hello CLI | Running a script with php, $argv, stdout |
More pages continue this ladder — argument/option parsing, reading and writing files, simple persistence, and finally packaging with Composer/phar so the tool can be distributed as a single file. Tracked as follow-up work.
Prerequisites
- PHP installed
- Basic programming knowledge (variables, loops, functions)
Start with 01 Hello CLI.
