Call a PHP function from the command line

By using the -r parameter you can run a script in-line.

php -r "require 'address.php'; exportAddress(12345);"

There are no other options. A function in PHP can only be called by a PHP script.

Add this to the top of the file "/var/www/test/address.php"...

foreach ($argv as $i=>$arg )
{
    if ( $arg == "exportAddress" )
    { 
        exportAddress($argv[$i+1]);
    }
}

Then from the command line, execute:

php /var/www/test/address.php exportAddress 12345

Use

php  -r 'include  "/var/www/test/address.php";exportAddress(1);'

where "/var/www/test/arr.php" is the file name, including path, and exportAddress() is a function inside that file.
