Question

If I have a file named somephpfile.php, I can execute this from a terminal window using:
“php somephpfile.php”

If I want to pass paramaters to this from the terminal which the php file will receive through $_POST, how can I do this?

Thanks,

Answer 1

you don’t, well not with post:

php somephpfile.php var1 var2

$var1 and $var2 will be in the $argv array.
