I have bunch of php files in directory structure say /mylibs
I want to run a simple php -l $file
on each php file which checks for syntax errors
find /mylibs -type f -iname "*.php" -exec php -l {} &>/dev/null \;
thats step one, the &>/dev/null eats verbose output from php (found syntax errors or not)
The php -l
returns 0 if no error is found depending upon which, I want to copy them to some other dir say /mybin
. To check if this works as expected I tried
find /mylibs -type f -iname "*.php" -ok php -l {} &>/dev/null ; echo $? \;
but this simply prints 1 on the terminal and does not ask for confirmation (-ok acts same as -exec after interactive confirmation)
What am I doing wrong here ? is it not possible to do this?
