Run php script from command line with variable

Question

I want to run a PHP script from the command line, but I also want to set a variable for that script.

Browser version: script.php?var=3

Command line: php -f script.php (but how do I give it the variable containing 3?)

Answer 1

Script:

<?php  // number of arguments passed to the script var_dump($argc);  // the arguments as an array. first argument is always the script name var_dump($argv); 

Command:

$ php -f test.php foo bar baz int(4) array(4) {   [0]=>   string(8) "test.php"   [1]=>   string(3) "foo"   [2]=>   string(3) "bar"   [3]=>   string(3) "baz" } 

Also, take a look at using PHP from the command line.
