Re: php.exe from command line

Simple. Parameters of the type you described, with the ?, = and &, etc. are specific to URLs and are handled by CGI, common gateway interface, i.e. the web server. See the PHP documentation on $argc[] and $argv[] if you want to pass parameters on the command line. http://us2.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php Your question mark directly after the file name is confusing DOS. Parameters on the DOS command line need to be separated from the file name by a space. Essentially, $argc is your argument count and $argv is an array of the values of the arguments. You won't be able to use $_GET when working with variables from the command line. It wouldn't be wise to design one script that works from either the command line or the web browser, plus it would be a major pain in the ass.

I've tried to run it in this way: http://localhost/agent.php?num=1 And it works perfectly I thought that from from command line it would work so i tried this (WinXP + PHP 4.1.2): c:\php\php.exe c:\Inetpub\webpub\PHP\agent.php?num=1 BUT IT DOESN'T WORK!!!!! ? Can someone help, please? Thenks in advance, Evan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
