	PHP was traditionally used to help web administrators automate various mundane tasks and to add dynamism to the web pages. However, PHP (in its modern incarnation) is capable of much more. It is now being used in ways traditional programming languages are used. It is now possible to remove PHP applications from the constraints of the ~~internet~~ server. Now, PHP is being used to write GUI applications as well as command line applications. We shall now look at writing PHP applications for the command line.
