Just pass it as normal parameters and access it in PHP using the $argv array.

php myfile.php daily

and in myfile.php

$type = $argv[1];

These lines will convert the arguments of a CLI call like php myfile.php "type=daily&foo=bar" into the well known $_GET-array:

if (!empty($argv[1])) 
 parse_str($argv[1], $_GET);

Though it is rather messy to overwrite the global $_GET-array, it converts all your scripts quickly to accept CLI arguments.

See http://php.net/manual/en/function.parse-str.php for details.

parameters send by index like other application

php myfile.php type=daily

and then you can gat them like this

<?php
if (count($argv) == 0) exit;
foreach ($argv as $arg)
 echo $arg;
?>

Save this code in file myfile.php and run as php myfile.php type=daily

<?php
$a = $argv;
$b = array();
if (count($a) == 1) exit;
foreach ($a as $key => $arg)
 if ($key > 0)
 list($x,$y) = explode('=', $arg);
 $b["$x"] = $y; 
 
 
?>

If you add var_dump($b); before the ?> tag, you will see that the array $b contains type => daily.

I strongly recommend the use of getopt.

Documentation at http://php.net/manual/en/function.getopt.php

If you wanna the help print out for your options than take a look at https://github.com/c9s/GetOptionKit#general-command-interface

To use $_GET so you dont need to support both if it could be used from command line and from web browser.

if(isset($argv))
 foreach ($argv as $arg) 
 $e=explode("=",$arg);
 if(count($e)==2)
 $_GET[$e[0]]=$e[1];
 else 
 $_GET[$e[0]]=0;
 

Using getopt() function we can also read parameter from command line just pass value with php running command

php abc.php --name=xyz

abc.php

$val = getopt(null, ["name:"]);

print_r($val);

o/p:-
array (
'name' => 'xyz',
)

<?php
if (count($argv) == 0) exit;
foreach ($argv as $arg)
echo $arg;
?>

This code should not be used. First of all CLI called like: /usr/bin/php phpscript.php will have one argv value which is name of script

array(2) 
 [0]=>
 string(13) "phpscript.php"

This one will always execute since will have 1 or 2 args passe

You could use what sep16 on php.net recommends:

<?php

parse_str(implode('&', array_slice($argv, 1)), $_GET);

?>

It behaves exactly like you'd expect with cgi-php.

$ php -f myfile.php type=daily a=1 b=2 b=3

will set $_GET['type'] to 'daily', $_GET['a'] to '1' and $_GET['b'] to array('2', '3').

Just pass it as parameters as follows:

php test.php one two three

and inside test.php:

<?php
if(isset($argv))

 foreach ($argv as $arg) 
 
 echo $arg;
 echo "rn";
 

?>

if (isset($argv) && is_array($argv)) 
 $param = array();
 for ($x=1; $x<sizeof($argv);$x++) 
 $pattern = '#/(.+)=(.+)#i';
 if (preg_match($pattern, $argv[$x])) 
 $key = preg_replace($pattern, '$1', $argv[$x]); 
 $val = preg_replace($pattern, '$2', $argv[$x]);
 $_REQUEST[$key] = $val;
 $$key = $val;
 
 

I put parameters in $_REQUEST

$_REQUEST[$key] = $val;

and also usable directly

$$key=$val

use this like that:

myFile.php /key=val
