php commandline problem

[jonno946]

Hi there,

This works on one server but not the other, any idea why?

php -q script.php '&questionID=400147&date=2006-12-09'

On one server, it reports both $REQUEST['questionId'] and $REQUEST['date'] being set, on the other it doesn't?!

Thanks,

Jonathan.

Isn't that an HTTP-protocol querystring? I can't see how that would work via the commandline. Obviously it does in some instances as you've found out.

For scripts I run from the commandline, I use the format

php -q script.php args myValue

which you can retrieve from the $argv array.
