[Cialug] Quick scripting

[David Champion]

I mentioned earlier in the thread that I'd done a little PHP shell 
scripting, but not much.

Ideally it would be nice to make use of common PHP libraries between web 
  & cmd line scripts. I usually get lazy and create PHP web pages that I 
then call with a wget or something. Then I don't have to worry about 
having the php cmdline version available...
