Hi Jidanni,
I thought I knew how to implement your idea, but I am stuck.
[fyi: I am using a WAMP 2.0 from Webdeveloper (community edition)]
at the command prompt (in my mediawiki folder), when I type:
"php index.php > test.txt", i get a nice html dump of the page as I would
expect into the file "test.txt"
however, when I type:
"php index.php?title=Main&action=raw > test.txt", I get an error that
says, "Could not open input file"
this is not the behaviour I expected.
Your command has three parts:
php index.php?title=Main -- Run command php with parameter
'index.php?title=Main'
& --If the last command was successful (return code 0) execute the next one
action=raw --Execute 'action=raw'
-- Redirect output to file
test.txt -- Named
test.txt
Always be very careful with shell metacharacters!
The query you were expecting to do was:
php "index.php?title=Main&action=raw" > test.txt
However note that using the command line interface you're not setting
the server variables mediawiki expects so it probably still won't do
what you want to.
