Vulnero

Seamless WordPress and Zend Framework Integration

Command Line Scripts

There are cases where you might want to access application or WordPress resources without having to go through your web server and WordPress directly:

  • Unit Tests
  • Database Migration Scripts
  • Workers and Message Queues
  • Cronjobs for emails, notifications, or larger tasks

Many of these options require resources like database connections, configuration or caches in order to function. The Vulnero_WordPress API is written to implement certain WordPress API functions even if they're not available (e.g.: WordPress hasn't been loaded). It can create a database connection, work with options through get/setCustomOption() and even bootstrap most resources like caching.

Sample Command Line Script:

#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php
if (!defined('PLUGIN_BASE_PATH')) {
    require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wordpress-plugin.php';
}

ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);

$wordPress = $application->getBootstrap()
                         ->bootstrap('wordPress')
                         ->getResource('wordPress');
$db =        $application->getBootstrap()
                         ->bootstrap('db')
                         ->getResource('db');
$cache =     $application->getBootstrap()
                         ->bootstrap('cache')
                         ->getResource('cache');

if (!$value = $cache->load('sample')) {
    $stmt = $db->query('SELECT 1');
    $row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM);
    $value = $row[0];
    $cache->save($value);
}

$wordPress->setCustomOption('sample', $value);

exit(0);

The above script is suitable for command line execution straight from bash and works great as a message queue, cronjob, and so forth.
