i want execute php file with Shell script but i dont know how i can pass GET variables.

This script “php script.php?var=data” don’t work because Shell can’t find the file “script.php?var=data”.

So ,do you know how i can pass my variables ? If it’s really impossible to use GET variable, can i pass variables by an other way and use it in my php script ?

Answer 1

If you’re executing your script via the command-line (such as php your_script.php), you will not be able to use the $_GET parameters, as you’re experiencing.

However, you can make use of PHP’s CLI which graciously gives you the $argv array.

To use it, you will call your script like this:

php your_script.php variable1 "variable #2"

Inside your script, you can access the variables with:

<?php

$variable1 = $argv[1];
$variable2 = $argv[2];
