WP-CLI for PHP developers
summary
Makes a concrete claim: one can run ad hoc production data tasks with WP-CLI instead of pouring code into the repo. Demonstrates using wp shell and wp eval-file to run PHP that queries users, converts objects to arrays, formats output with the internal API, and writes a CSV export that actually works on the demo instances. Shows a quirky bug: search_columns parsing forces array syntax inconsistently. Promises minutes to complete tasks that otherwise take days when done by standard deploy flow.
