PHP is a great language to develop web applications rapidly and economically. Many of us know this. But what many of us were unaware of is that PHP can also be run as a command line script like c, c++, java, etc. Questions may arise why do we need to run PHP on the command line? After all, we just need to create websites with PHP, HTML, Graphics and JavaScript.
Apart from building web applications and websites, there are many other tasks that need to be run on the background in the web server. Most of these kinds of tasks may take a few minutes to many hours to complete.
