True Image Compatible Toner Cartridge
Do you have use True Image toner cartridge? I want to know if it have high quality as the original. I think the original toner cartridge has higher price than this product. But I worry about the quality about compatible toner cartridge. Nancy2342 (talk) 02:24, 21 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I don't think our reference desk is the right forum to discuss the quality of compatible toner cartridges of specific manufacturers. Any answers given here would be anecdotal anyway; as with any product, some users will have had only good experiences while some will have been less happy. Here are some links to consumer reviews:, , , . --Lambiam 06:33, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Please consider the command:

php composer-setup.php --filename=composer --install-dir=/usr/local/bin

 * Judging by the installation instructions here, the file composer-setup.php is what begins downloading if you visit getcomposer.org/installer, although it downloads under the name "installer". Opening this file in a text editor reveals lines such as:
 * and
 * and this in function displayHelp
 * and these lines at the start of the function run
 * ...followed by
 * and later on there's
 * I could go on, but I think you get the drift. If you don't supply a name, the name will be composer.phar. If you supply the name "composer", so far as I can tell the resulting PHAR (file format) file will be called composer. This seems like a slightly worse choice than the default.

 * To clarify, the  parameter is being passed to the php script , not to php itself. So the php man page won't know anything about it. CodeTalker (talk) 23:38, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
