yes my idea was to use an ".ini" to store the configs. Do you know of
any tutorials for creating php command line interafaces / applications ..
The biggest problem is that the 2 interfaces have to share the same
config, other wise there could be hug problems ..
so write an underlying module that takes care of reading and writing
ini settings.
try this:

which is a tut. on using this:

your boss has just (theoretically) doubled the ammount of work you
have to do,
a cmdline interface is not something you bolt on as an after
thought! it's
just as much an interface (with all the potential hard work it takes
to get
it working properly) as an application webpage.

use a single config file (use a ini type file?) or maybe a DB. just make
sure you have some kind of update locking (check out the flock()
function for
example) so that changes don't overwrite each other or bork the
config file
somehow.

I don't think the real-time (on the cmdline) versus browser-time
intertaction
is an issue. especially if you consider that you could write the
cmdline interface
in the same way as the PEAR command works. the pear command is an
executable php
script that excepts many, many commands (relevant to PEAR
isntall/repository management)
which is called from your shell, e.g.:
?> pear install apc
a normally SSH connection to the box gives access - rather than a
direct connection to
a port that hosts the cmdline application (or course its quite
possible to write a php
cmdline app. that runs as a telnet-like deamon, but personally I'd
keep it simple
and write a php shell script for which you need to SSH into the
relevant box to
use the script/tool.
