If the command line doesn't have a way to cause $_GET to be populated, then what other way of invoking PHP could I use? -- Steve

    Steve,

    You'd need to transpose the $_GET variables from the request to

$argv variables via the CLI. I don't know exactly how Java would handle it, but the PHP equivalent (though rather recursive and unnecessary, it's just here for demonstration purposes) would be: Thanks Daniel, I can certainly do that in Java without much trouble, however I was hoping to avoid needing to do things in each php file to convert argv into $_GET. I want to be able to serve standard PHP without modifying each one.

But you made me realize there is a way. I wrote a small "pre.php" file like this: <?php # for($i=1;$i<count($argv);$i++) {

	        $variables = split("=",$argv[$i]);
	        $_GET[$variables[0]] = $variables[1];

} ?> and in my php.ini, I set this: auto_prepend_file =e:\php523\pre.php Now it works fine without having to modify the php code! All I need to do is have the Java code set up the html parms as argv, and I'm done. -- Steve
