note 114587 added to function.getopt

As already mentioned getopt() will stop parsing options upon the '--'. Sometimes you will have options and arguments but the user may not always provide the explicit -- option. Below is a quick way to collect options and arguments regardless of the -- consistently. #!/usr/bin/php <?php $options = getopt('hl::m:v:a', [ 'help', 'list::', 'module:', 'version:', 'all', ]); var_dump( $options ); $args = array_search('--', $argv); $args = array_splice($argv, $args ? ++$args : (count($argv) - count($opt))); var_dump( $args ); ?> ---- Server IP: 87.117.229.81 Probable Submitter: 176.26.99.186 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.getopt.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/114587 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114587/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114587/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114587/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114587/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114587/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114587/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114587 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/114587 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
