PHP is a great language to develop web applications rapidly and economically. Many of us know this. But what many of us were unaware of is that PHP can also be run as a command line script like c, c++, java, etc. Questions may arise why do we need to run PHP on the command line? After all, we just need to create websites with PHP, HTML, Graphics and JavaScript.
As a web developer, I have a persistent need for an FTP client in order to upload web content to my site. When I started working on Francisco Charrua and Web Hosting Montreal, CuteFTP was my tool of choice. Then my ranting about always having to re-login earned me a referral to SmartFTP. I reluctantly installed it on my development PC. After a few customisations and realizing that the expiration of the trial period didn't completely disable it, I switched. Being able to drag and drop files and folders into my web site was a very welcome enhancement.
