I'm trying to run PHP from the command line under Windows XP.
That works, except for the fact that I am not able to provide parameters to my PHP script.
My test case:
echo "param = " . $param . "\n";
var_dump($argv);
I want to call this as:
php.exe -f test.php -- param=test
But I never get the script to accept my parameter.
The result I get from the above script:
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: param in C:\test.php on line 2
param = ''
array(2) {
[0]=> string(8) "test.php"
[1]=> string(10) "param=test"
}
I am trying this using PHP 5.2.6. Is this a bug in PHP 5?
The parameter passing is handled in the online help:
Note: If you need to pass arguments to your scripts you need to pass -- as the first argument when using the -f switch.
This seemed to be working under PHP 4, but not under PHP 5.
Under PHP 4 I could use the same script that could run on the server without alteration on the command line. This is handy for local debugging, for example, saving the output in a file, to be studied.
