Re: Pass windows-style paths to the interpreter from the shebang line ?

Hello

I would like to write a php script to run from my cygwin command line.
I have the php CLI executable (php.exe) in PATH and I use
#!/bin/env php
as the first line of the .php script, and make it executable.

The problem is that bash will than invoke the Win32 native php.exe
binary with the Cygwin-style path of my script as the argument,
and then php complains that it:

`Could not open input file: /home/Adrian/usr/local/bin/parseLog.php´

Which is normal for php.exe, as it does not understand cygwin paths.

I found no way around this problem. I would type `php /scriptname/´
myself but then the script name would no longer be searched on PATH and
I would have to type
'D:\Local\cygwin\home\Adrian\usr\local\bin\parseLog.php' as the script
name at all times.

Is there a way around this ? Can cygwin detect the executable is not a
cygwin application add pass in the right path name ?

Thank you,
Timothy Madden


you need to use cygpath to convert posix path in window path


You could make a php.sh script like this to invoke your php.exe
with a window path

----------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
for i in $(echo $PATH | tr ':' ' ')
  do
    a=$(find  $i -name $1 -exec cygpath -w  \{\}    \;  )
    if ( [ "$a" != "" ] ) ; then
      /full_cygwin_path/php.exe $a
      exit
    fi
  done

----------------------------------------------------------

Regards
Marco
