Question

I working in Rails and I need to call to an PHP-script.
I can connect to the script like this:

system('php public/myscript.php')

But I need to send some parameters with it.
How do I do that?

Thanks

You can provide command-line arguments to your PHP script:

system('php public/myscript.php arg1 arg2')

They will be available from your PHP code like this:

echo $argv[0]; // public/myscript.php
echo $argv[1]; // arg1
echo $argv[2]; // arg2
