Incorporating a symfony console into a silex application.

cli.php

#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php // app/cli.php

use Silex\Application;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Application as Console;

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

/** @var Application $app */
$app = require 'app.php';

$console = new Console();

// requires $app['db'] to return a dbal connection
$app->register(
    new \Kurl\Silex\Provider\DoctrineMigrationsProvider($console),
    [
        'migrations.directory'  => __DIR__ . '/../config/migrations',
        'migrations.name'       => 'Acme Migrations',
        'migrations.namespace'  => 'Acme\Migrations',
        'migrations.table_name' => 'acme_migrations',
    ]
);

$console->add(new \Acme\Console\ResetUserPassword($app));

$app->boot();

$console->run();

Make sure you make the file executable:

chmod +x app/cli.php

And use it:

php app/cli.php migrations:generate
