Specify custom php.ini to use with WP-CLI

Question

I have a Linux crontab that runs a bash script. In the bash script, it executes a few wp-cli commands. I want to apply a custom php.ini file when wp-cli runs to ensure timeouts are not an issue. Is there a setting/method that allows you to set a custom php.ini to use with wp-cli?

Thanks!

Answer 1

If executing PHP scripts directly on command line, you can try the -d option.

Another way is to make use of the WP_CLI constant:

if ( defined('WP_CLI') && WP_CLI ) {
    // Load custom PHP configurations here.
}
