Variables problems

[Anon]

hi,

i got a little problem to get some variables with php in dos command. Example:

<php
print ("hello");
pring ($vTXT);
?>

if i call this little script in IE with:
http://127.0.0.1/test.php?vTXT=cool
it works fine and i can see:

hello
cool

but if i call this script directly with the dos command "php.exe -q test.php?vTXT=cool"
i have only a blank line on my screen 🙁
if i run this script without parameters "php.exe -q test.php" i get this:

hello

I need know how can i get a variables for my application written in php/gtk .

thx for your help,

Hi SIDT,

i don't know how it works on a windows machine but on linux jou can run a script with the following command:
/usr/local/bin/php -q test.php cool

in your script first thing is:
$filename = $argv[0]; //you do not need this one, filename is allways first element in array $argv
$vTXT = $argv[1]; // there is your 'cool'

hoop it works on windows the same, good luck.
