Using

This package implements the following commands:

wp eval

Executes arbitrary PHP code.

wp eval <php-code> [--skip-wordpress]

Note: because code is executed within a method, global variables need to be explicitly globalized.

OPTIONS

<php-code>
	The code to execute, as a string.

[--skip-wordpress]
	Execute code without loading WordPress.

EXAMPLES

# Display WordPress content directory.
$ wp eval 'echo WP_CONTENT_DIR;'
/var/www/wordpress/wp-content

# Generate a random number.
$ wp eval 'echo rand();' --skip-wordpress
479620423

wp eval-file

Loads and executes a PHP file.

wp eval-file <file> [<arg>...] [--skip-wordpress] [--use-include]

Note: because code is executed within a method, global variables need to be explicitly globalized.

OPTIONS

<file>
	The path to the PHP file to execute.  Use '-' to run code from STDIN.

[<arg>...]
	One or more positional arguments to pass to the file. They are placed in the $args variable.

[--skip-wordpress]
	Load and execute file without loading WordPress.

[--use-include]
	Process the provided file via include instead of evaluating its contents.
