René's URL Explorer Experiment

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Add a -s / --serialize command line option.","articleBody":"It would be handy to be able to spit out a sub-section of a Cake app's Configure array in a format that could be consumed by another PHP script easily. This would improve the fidelity of data transfer for things like our Shell Scripts' `db-credentials` script, which currently uses the ConfigReadShell to dump DB connection values to bash variables, then has to parse that format back into a PHP data structure before spitting it back out in the appropriate format itself.\n\nIt'd be great to be able to do something like this from a calling script instead:\n\n``` php\n\u003c?php\n$cmd = escapeshellcmd('bin/cake ConfigRead --serialize Key.SubValueWithSubArrays');\n$serialized = [];\n$code = 0;\nexec($cmd, $serialized, $code);\n$data = unserialize($serialized);\necho $data['sub-sub-key']['property'];\n```\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/beporter","@type":"Person","name":"beporter"},"datePublished":"2015-06-28T16:33:05.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/19/CakePHP-ConfigReadShell/issues/19"}
