Assuming I understand the question... lynx is a text-based browser which you can use to surf to pages and see what they output, kinda sorta. Not really useful for rich-media sites, but viable for mostly-text sites. There MIGHT be a curses-based web browser out there... I mean, in theory, there could be one, right? And it might even be able to render vector-based images, I suppose??? You can also run: php -l script.php to check for syntax errors before you attempt to surf to it, and catch the really bone-headed mistakes before you fire up lynx. None of the above will be real useful for MOST web-sites, but might fit your needs, and fall strictly within the question asked. Going farther afield from the original question... You might also want to use a laptop/desktop/whatever and an SSH client program such as putty to be able to surf with common browsers in one window while typing in another. Cuz you're really not going to be able to develop a modern web-site without some kind of graphical browser, for 99.99% of web-sites out there today. OTOH, if all you are doing is some kind of data-warehousing web-service type application, you could probably get away with: telnet localhost 80 | less GET / HTTP/1.0 Host: localhost [hit return TWICE] after that last localhost] I've done that, in a pinch. :-) Actually, if's VERY useful for figuring out your headers, for checking output of funky characters, and quite instructive for search engine optimization, because THAT is what Google sees.

Re: [PHP] CLI utility
moin, richard nice idea , but i'd rather think according to probability calculation chance for this to happen converge to 0, doesn't it... ;) There MIGHT be a curses-based web browser out there... I mean, in theory, there could be one, right? And it might even be able to render vector-based images, I suppose??? woh-woh-woh... what is this? never ever thought of such a method... where can i get more info about such stuff ? maybe apache-docs, but where? does it even work with other protocols/servers, maybe something like 'rtsp' or a db-server :) ? telnet localhost 80 | less GET / HTTP/1.0 Host: localhost Oh... errr... sorry... but, those abbrivations... can't get used to them... is there a glosary or such alike to find somewhere?

Re: [PHP] CLI utility
Just a raw (manual) way to talk to a server. You just need to understand the way a HTTP request is sent to a server (http://w3c.org/). Or if you know how to comminicate with what ever protocol you use manually. The reason to really do it with db-server would be to test to see if is actually running, for example for mysql: telnet localhost 3306 5.0.15-standard�q9i$t=tR,|;P_l%lu']~^CConnection closed by foreign host. or smtp telnet localhost 25 220 bagend.shire ESMTP Exim 4.54 Tue, 21 Feb 2006 20:01:16 -0800 helo localhost 250 bagend.shire Hello localhost.shire [::1] ... or pop3 telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused telnet: Unable to connect to remote host oh yeah, i dont run a pop server :) woh-woh-woh... what is this? never ever thought of such a method... where can i get more info about such stuff ? maybe apache-docs, but where? does it even work with other protocols/servers, maybe something like 'rtsp' or a db-server :) ? telnet localhost 80 | less GET / HTTP/1.0 Host: localhost I usually use google's 'define:YMMV' Oh... errr... sorry... but, those abbrivations... can't get used to them... is there a glosary or such alike to find somewhere?
