As of yesterday, I'm attempting to use PHP from the command line for the
first time. The reason I'm finally doing this, is that something I've
got coded into a web page now needs to run from cron. I don't want to
recode my backend logic in perl (or any other language) now that I've
already got a working class in PHP.
Anyway, I wanted to ask the list if anyone's been having problems with
PHP caching? the command line scripts? Basically, my first version has
a bug, and I corrected it, but PHP continues to run the old version, I
can't figure out how to force it to recompile the script.
