[Resolved] cmd line php, arguments

[id10t]

Is there a way to run cli php scripts and access arguments? For example in bash, you can access them with $1, $2, etc. How can I do this with php?

#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?php
 echo "Test Read Arguements:\n\n";    

 echo $_SERVER["argc"] . "\n";      

 echo $_SERVER["argv"][0] . "\n";  

  echo $_SERVER["argv"][1] . "\n";  

?>

$_SERVER["argc"] will give the number arguments enter including. Note the script itself is an argument.

$SERVER["argv"] is an array of arguments. To access the first argument it will be at index 1, $SERVER["argv"][1]. Remember the file name itself is at index 0, $_SERVER[argv"[0].
