phing: Specify a log file to output to.
$ phing -b ${path-to-log_file} ${task_name}
try on your machine

The command phing is a build tool for PHP projects, used for automating repetitive tasks such as compiling code, running tests, and generating documentation.

The options in the command are as follows:

  • -b: Specifies the location of the build file. The build file contains the instructions on what tasks to execute.
  • ${path-to-log_file}: This is a placeholder for the path to the log file. The actual path should be provided in place of ${path-to-log_file}, indicating where Phing should output the log file.
  • ${task_name}: This is a placeholder for the task name. The specific task to be executed should be provided in place of ${task_name}. Tasks are defined in the build file and can be things like compiling code, running tests, or deploying the project.

By executing this command, Phing will run the specified task (${task_name}) using the build file specified by the -b option. The log file will be generated at the location specified by ${path-to-log_file}.
