Question

Is there a PHP library that I can use to parse options and parameters in a command line php script? I do know the function getopt, but is there something similar for parameters?

Answer 1

Use getopt for options and the $argv array for parameters – http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.argv.php

also have a look at http://docs.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php for stuff like reading arguments from $argv of the form --name=VALUE
