Kohana — Command Line

Question

I\'m trying to \"faux-fork\" a process (an email being sent via SMTP) in my web application, and the application is built on Kohana.

    $command = \'test/emai         


        

Answer 1

As far as I know you can't run the kohana files directly in command line because of its bootstrap methods.

You could do 2 things: export all command like functions outside kohana and run them independently.

Something else you could do is running it trough the index.php located in the kohana main folder while passing the $controller, $method variables to it so it ends up at the right object where your code is located:

For kohana 2:

php index.php controller/method/var1/var2

Kohana 3

php index.php --uri=controller/method/var1/var2

Edit: Kohana has a great CLI task runner from version 3.3 onward as official module. For version 3.2 it's still an unofficial module. I suggest you use these because they give a lot of extra options on running from CLI:

• Kohana 3.2 - https://github.com/Zeelot/kohana-minion
• Kohana 3.3 - https://github.com/kohana/minion
