How to install phpsh on Ubuntu Karmic
First of all you need to have git and python installed:
sudo apt-get install git python python-setuptools
Next you need to fetch phpsh git repository on github:
git clone git://github.com/facebook/phpsh.git phpsh
Then build and install phpsh:
cd phpsh/
python2.6 setup.py build
sudo python2.6 setup.py install
During install procedure i've encountered a problem: setuptools was unable to get pysqlite, so i've installed those from Ubuntu repo:
sudo aptitude install python2.6-pysqlite2
and repeated step with install command
First look on phpsh
To see what i can do with phpsh i've used following simple code:
<?php
/**
* Classs for testing phpsh
* @author bumz
*
*/
class Test
{
/**
* Variable holds all set foos
* @var array
*/
private $_foos = array();
/**
* General empty constructor
* @return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
}
/**
* General getter
*
* @param string $fooName
* @return mixed
* @throws Exception if foo isn't set
*/
public function __get($fooName)
{
if (isset($this->_foos[$fooName])) {
return $this->_foos[$fooName];
} else {
throw new Exception('This foo isn\'t set');
}
}
/**
* General setter
*
* @param string $fooName
* @param mixed $fooValue
* @return void
*/
public function __set($fooName, $fooValue)
{
$this->_foos[$fooName] = $fooValue;
}
/**
* General magic isset function
*
* @param string $fooName
* @return bool
*/
public function __isset($fooName)
{
return isset($this->_foos[$fooName]);
}
/**
* General magic unset function
*
* @param string $fooName
* @return bool
* @throws Exception every time as foo can't be unset
*/
public function __unset($fooName)
{
throw new Exception('You can\'t unset foos');
}
/**
* Test of autocomplete
* @return void
*/
public function autocomplete()
{
echo 'autocomplete works';
}
}
first of all you need to load phpsh itself and load Test class:
phpsh
phpsh> r '/home/bumz/workspace/test/testsh.php'
Then i've done few simple operations:
php> $class = new Test();
php> $class->foo1 = 'I\'m foo 1';
php> $class->foo2 = 'Foo 2 here';
php> echo $class->foo2;
Foo 2 here
php> echo isset($class->foo2);
1
php> unset($class->foo2);
Uncaught exception: Exception: You can't unset foos
php> $class->autocom
autocommit autocomplete
php> $class->autocomplete();
Now i know i will use this tool.
