CConsoleApplication represents a console application.

CConsoleApplication extends CApplication by providing functionalities specific to console requests. In particular, it deals with console requests through a command-based approach:
  • A console application consists of one or several possible user commands;
  • Each user command is implemented as a class extending CConsoleCommand;
  • User specifies which command to run on the command line;
  • The command processes the user request with the specified parameters.


The command classes reside in the directory commandPath. The name of the class follows the pattern: <command-name>Command, and its file name is the same the class name. For example, the 'ShellCommand' class defines a 'shell' command and the class file name is 'ShellCommand.php'.

To run the console application, enter the following on the command line: 
php path/to/entry_script.php <command name> [param 1] [param 2] ...


You may use the following to see help instructions about a command: 
php path/to/entry_script.php help <command name>

Property Details

commandMap property
public array $commandMap;

mapping from command name to command configurations. Each command configuration can be either a string or an array. If the former, the string should be the file path of the command class. If the latter, the array must contain a 'class' element which specifies the command's class name or class path alias. The rest name-value pairs in the array are used to initialize the corresponding command properties. For example, 

array(
  'email'=>array(
     'class'=>'path.to.Mailer',
     'interval'=>3600,
  ),
  'log'=>'path/to/LoggerCommand.php',
