I am using php as a scripting language (rather that for web purposes), and would like to be able to pass arguments via the command line. Is this possible? Right now I can use php “include(myscript.php”); myfunction($myvar);" but it’s a little messier than I would like. Is there any other way?
Thanks in advance,
Lee
You create your “Scripts” just like if you were doing a web page, however, you when you want to “Launch” it you call it like so:
php my_script.php
or
php -f my_script.php
You can refer to http://us.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php for more help as well.
Example #8 provides an excellent example of how to use command-line parameters in PHP-CLI.
