phpquery is not a standard Linux command. It refers to phpQuery, a PHP library mimicking jQuery for server-side HTML/XML parsing and manipulation. No official CLI binary exists in major distros like Ubuntu or Fedora. Users might create wrappers via php scripts, e.g., php phpquery.php input.html, but it's library-focused.

Originally developed for DOM traversal without browser, it allows CSS selector queries on HTML strings. Common use: scraping, testing HTML. Install via Composer: composer require phpquery/phpquery. Invoke programmatically, not directly as shell command.

Lacks man page; docs at phpquery.net. Alternatives: jq for JSON, pup or htmlq for HTML querying.

Not in standard repos; requires PHP >=5.3 and manual install. Deprecated since 2015; use DiDOM or Symfony DomCrawler. Potential security risks parsing untrusted HTML. No native binary; always script-wrapped.

Via Composer: composer require phpquery/phpquery. Or git clone from GitHub, then php include('phpQuery.php');.

$doc = phpQuery::newDocumentHTMLFile('input.html'); pq('div.title')->text(); (in PHP script).

phpQuery created by Tobiasz Cudnik in 2008 as PHP5 jQuery port. Peaked ~2012 with 1.3.3 release. Maintained sporadically; archived on GitHub. Usage declined with PHP DOM improvements and JS alternatives.
