Question

I need to execute a php file with parameters through shell.

here is how I would run the php file:

php -q htdocs/file.php

I need to have the parameter ‘show’ be passed through and

php -q htdocs/file.php?show=show_name

doesn’t work

If someone could spell out to me what command to execute to get the php file to execute with set parameters, it would be much appreciated. If not, try to lead me the right direction.

Answer 1

test.php:

<?php
print_r($argv);
?>

Shell:

$ php -q test.php foo bar
Array
(
    [0] => test.php
    [1] => foo
    [2] => bar
)
