README

A library for executing local shell commands, with support for exit status, standard output, and error output. The reason this exists is that there's a lot of boiler plate code necessary if you want to get stuff like error output from a command.

Install

curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar require cullylarson/local-commands

Usage

1. Create an instance of Cully\Local\Command.

   <?php
   
   $command = new Cully\Local\Command();
   

2. Execute your command.

   <?php
   
   $command->exec("ls");
   

3. At this point, you have access to a few results:

   <?php
   
   $command->success();       // whether the command succeeded
   $command->failure();       // whether the command failed
   $command->getCommand();    // the last command executed
   $command->getExitStatus(); // the exit status of the last command executed
   $command->getOutput();     // the standard output from the last command
   $command->getError();      // the error output from the last command
   

The exec Function

1. $command (string) The command you want to execute (e.g. ls).

2. $cwd (string) (optional, default: null) The current working directory (the folder you want to execute the command in).

3. $env (array) (optional, default: []) An array of environment variable that you want to make available to the command.
