Call the command line via the browser

You can mimick the call of the symfony command line via a PHP script called from the browser. For instance, for the command

$ symfony clear-cache

...create a webclearcache.php file in your myproject/web/ directory (where the index.php is) with the following content:

<?php
 
// as we are in the web/ dir, we need to go up one level to get to the project root
chdir(dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'..');
 
include_once('/lib/symfony/pake/bin/pake.php');
 
$pake = pakeApp::get_instance();
try
{
  $ret = $pake->run('/data/symfony/bin/pakefile.php', 'clear-cache');
}
catch (pakeException $e)
{
  print "<strong>ERROR</strong>: ".$e->getMessage();
}
 
?>

You can now clear the cache by calling:

http://myapp.example.com/webclearcache.php

Note: Beware that by letting web access to administration tools, you can compromise the safety of your website.

Updated to use it from action class and symfony 1.0:

{
    // we need to go up one level to get to the project root
    chdir(dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'../../../../../');
 
    include_once(sfConfig::get('sf_symfony_lib_dir').'/vendor/pake/pakeFunction.php');
 
    $pake = pakeApp::get_instance();
    try
    {
      // be quiet
      $pake->do_option("quiet", "");
 
      // run task 
      include_once(sfConfig::get('sf_symfony_data_dir').'/tasks/sfPakeBase.php');
      $ret = $pake->run(sfConfig::get('sf_symfony_data_dir').'/tasks/sfPakeMisc.php', 'clear-cache');
    }
    catch (pakeException $e)
    {
      // to use $error variable in clearcacheError.php template
      $this->error = $e->getMessage();
      return sfView::ERROR;
    }
 
    return sfView::SUCCESS;
