Command line args with php

[Anon]

Hello:

I am writing shell scripts to generate static pages from php scripts. How can I pass an argument to php script;

Example:

php -q main.php?user=roman

How can I pass ?user=roman to main.php?

It seems that ?user=roman does not reach main.php.

any ideas?

Thanks
Roman

Normally, for shell scripts, the way to do it is to pass args like you would for a normal shell command, like this:

./scriptnamehere arg1 arg2 arg3

etc.

Inside php, you get two vars for handling command line arguments, just like in C, $argc tells you how many args you got, and $argv[x] gives you the xth argument. The above command line would result in $argc=4 and $argv[0]=./scriptname, $argv[1]=arg1, $argv[2]=arg2 and $argv[3]=$arg3

Or
php script.php key=value
then in script, to use key:
$key = $HTTP_GET_VARS["script_php_key"];
