Primarily related to the path handling datatypes, to avoid unnecessary casts, where possible. Also some rework to avoid code dup. Probably more places are to go, even not path related, primarily to have less casts and unsigned integers where possible. That way, we've not only less warnings and casts, but are also safer with regard to the integer overflows. OFC it's not a panacea, but still significantly reduces the vulnerability potential.
The CLI (command line interface) SAPI has been introduced
with a goal of making PHP better at supporting the creation of
stand alone applications.
It is based on CGI SAPI with all CGI specific things removed.
The main differences between the two:
* CLI is started up in quiet mode by default.
(-q switch kept for compatibility)
* It does not change the working directory to that of the script.
(-C switch kept for compatibility)
* Plain text error message
* $argc and $argv registered irrespective of the register_argc_argv
php.ini setting.
* implicit_flush always on
* -r option which allows execution of PHP code directly from
the command line (e.g. php -r 'echo md5("test");' )
* Other more sophisticated command line switches (see: man php)
* max_execution_time is set to unlimited, overriding php.ini setting.
