OK, but if no param name is passed in, I assume that the order they are passed in as must be correct or the script will not know what values belong to which parameters?

My script needs to be excuted from both command line and from web browsers. > > > > > but this does not work, the script executes but key is not available > > as $_GET["key"] in my script.
