Long options don't work on Windows IIRC (check the docs), but you can easily get arguments from short options. An example for the tool I wrote is src/sitemap.php -s 28372 -d mydomain.com -l debug -p -z 9 -b sitemaps -o xml The code that parses the options is very straightforward. If you already use Zend Framework, it has its own CLI library I think. David
