php-shellcommand provides a simple object oriented interface to execute shell commands.
## Features
* Catches `stdOut`, `stdErr` and `exitCode`
* Handle argument escaping
* Pass environment vars and other options to `proc_open()`
## Examples
### Basic Example
```php
<?php
use mikehaertl\shellcommand\Command;
// Basic example
$command = new Command('/usr/local/bin/mycommand -a -b');
if ($command->execute()) {
echo $command->getOutput();
} else {
echo $command->getError();
$exitCode = $command->getExitCode();
}
```
### Advanced Features
```php
// Create command with options array
$command = new Command(array(
'command' => '/usr/local/bin/mycommand',
// Will be passed as environment variables to the command
'procEnv' => array(
'DEMOVAR' => 'demovalue'
),
// Will be passed as options to proc_open()
'procOptions' => array(
'bypass_shell' => true,
),
));
// Add arguments with correct escaping:
// results in --name='d'\''Artagnan'
$command->addArg('--name=', "d'Artagnan");
// Add argument with several values
// results in --keys key1 key2
$command->addArg('--keys', array('key1','key2'));
// Add string to pipe to command on standard input
$command->setStdIn('string');
```
## API
### Properties
* `$escapeArgs`: Whether to escape any argument passed through `addArg()`. Default is `true`.
* `$escapeCommand`: Whether to escape the command passed to `setCommand()` or the constructor.
This is only useful if `$escapeArgs` is `false`. Default is `false`.
* `$useExec`: Whether to use `exec()` instead of `proc_open()`. This is a workaround for OS which
have problems with `proc_open()`. Default is `false`.
* `$captureStdErr`: Whether to capture stderr when `useExec` is set. This will try to redirect
the otherwhise unavailable `stderr` to `stdout`, so that both have the same content on error.
Default is `true`.
* `$procCwd`: The initial working dir passed to `proc_open()`. Default is `null` for current
PHP working dir.
* `$procEnv`: An array with environment variables to pass to `proc_open()`. Default is `null` for none.
* `$procOptions`: An array of `other_options` for `proc_open()`. Default is `null` for none.
* `$locale`: The locale to (temporarily) set with `setlocale()` before running the command.
This can be set to e.g. `en_US.UTF-8` if you have issues with UTF-8 encoded arguments.
You can configure all these properties via an array that you pass in the constructor. You can also
pass `command`, `execCommand` and `args` as options. This will call the respective setter (`setCommand()`,
`setExecCommand()`, etc.).
### Methods
* `__construct($options = null)`
* `$options`: either a command string or an options array (see `setOptions()`)
* `setOptions($options)`: Set command options
* `$options`: array of name => value options that should be applied to the object.
You can also pass options that use a setter, e.g. you can pass a `command` option which
will be passed to `setCommand().`
* `setCommand($command)`: Set command
* `$command`: The command or full command string to execute, like `gzip` or `gzip -d`.
You can still call `addArg()` to add more arguments to the command. If `$escapeCommand` was
set to `true`, the command gets escaped through `escapeshellcmd()`.
* `getCommand()`: The command that was set through `setCommand()` or passed to the constructor.
* `getExecCommand()`: The full command string to execute.
* `setArgs($args)`: Set argument as string
* `$args`: The command arguments as string. Note, that these will not get escaped!
* `getArgs()`: The command arguments that where set through `setArgs()` or `addArg()`, as string
* `addArg($key, $value=null, $escape=null)`: Add argument with correct escaping
* `$key`: The argument key to add e.g. `--feature` or `--name=`. If the key does not end with
and `=`, the `$value` will be separated by a space, if any. Keys are not escaped unless
`$value` is null and `$escape` is `true`.
* `$value`: The optional argument value which will get escaped if `$escapeArgs` is true.
An array can be passed to add more than one value for a key, e.g. `addArg('--exclude', array('val1','val2'))`
which will create the option "--exclude 'val1' 'val2'".
* `$escape`: If set, this overrides the `$escapeArgs` setting and enforces escaping/no escaping
* `setStdIn()`: String or resource to supply to command via standard input.
* `getOutput()`: The command output as string. Empty if none.
* `getError()`: The error message, either stderr or internal message. Empty if no error.
* `getStdErr()`: The stderr output. Empty if none.
* `getExitCode()`: The exit code.
* `getExecuted()`: Whether the command was successfully executed.
* `execute()`: Executes the command and returns `true` on success, `false` otherwhise.
> **Note:** `getError()`, `getStdErr()` and `getOutput()` return the trimmed output.
> You can pass `false` to these methods if you need any possible line breaks at the end.
