note 113015 added to function.getopt

Sometimes you will want to run a script from both the command line and as a web page, for example to debug with better output or a command line version that writes an image to the system but a web version that prints the image in the browser. You can use this function to get the same options whether passed as command line arguments or as $_REQUEST values. <?php /** * Get options from the command line or web request * * @param string $options * @param array $longopts * @return array */ function getoptreq ($options, $longopts) { if (PHP_SAPI === 'cli' || empty($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])) // command line { return getopt($options, $longopts); } else if (isset($_REQUEST)) // web script { $found = array(); $shortopts = preg_split('@([a-z0-9][:]{0,2})@i', $options, 0, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE | PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY); $opts = array_merge($shortopts, $longopts); foreach ($opts as $opt) { if (substr($opt, -2) === '::') // optional { $key = substr($opt, 0, -2); if (isset($_REQUEST[$key]) && !empty($_REQUEST[$key])) $found[$key] = $_REQUEST[$key]; else if (isset($_REQUEST[$key])) $found[$key] = false; } else if (substr($opt, -1) === ':') // required value { $key = substr($opt, 0, -1); if (isset($_REQUEST[$key]) && !empty($_REQUEST[$key])) $found[$key] = $_REQUEST[$key]; } else if (ctype_alnum($opt)) // no value { if (isset($_REQUEST[$opt])) $found[$opt] = false; } } return $found; } return false; } ?> Example <?php // php script.php -a -c=XXX -e=YYY -f --two --four=ZZZ --five=5 // script.php?a&c=XXX&e=YYY&f&two&four=ZZZ&five=5 $opts = getoptreq('abc:d:e::f::', array('one', 'two', 'three:', 'four:', 'five::')); var_dump($opts); /** array(7) { 'a' => bool(false) 'c' => string(3) "XXX" 'e' => string(3) "YYY" 'f' => bool(false) 'two' => bool(false) 'four' => string(3) "ZZZ" 'five' => string(1) "5" } */ ?> ---- Server IP: 87.124.126.49 Probable Submitter: 94.4.195.68 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.getopt.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/113015 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113015/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113015/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113015/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113015/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113015/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113015/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113015 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/113015 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
