note 125955 added to features.commandline

We can pass many arguments directly into the hashbang line. As example many ini setting via the -d parameter of php. --- #!/usr/bin/php -d memory_limit=2048M -d post_max_size=0 phpinfo(); exit; --- ./script | grep memory memory_limit => 2048M => 2048M --- But we can also use this behaviour into a second script, so it call the first as an interpreter, via the hashbang: --- #!./script arg1 arg2 arg3 --- However the parameters are dispatched in a different way into $argv All the parameters are in $argv[1], $argv[0] is the interpreter script name, and $argv[1] is the caller script name. To get back the parameters into $argv, we can simply test if $argv[1] contains spaces, and then dispatch again as normal: #!/usr/bin/php -d memory_limit=2048M -d post_max_size=0 <?php var_dump($argv); if (strpos($argv[1], ' ') !== false){ $argw = explode(" ", $argv[1]); array_unshift($argw, $argv[2]); $argv = $argw; } var_dump($argv); ?> --- array(3) { [0]=> string(8) "./script" [1]=> string(15) "arg1 arg2 arg3 " [2]=> string(14) "./other_script" } array(4) { [0]=> string(8) "./other_script" [1]=> string(4) "arg1" [2]=> string(4) "arg2" [3]=> string(4) "arg3" } --- This will maintain the same behaviour in all cases and allow to even double click a script to call both parameters of another script, and even make a full interpreter language layer. The other script doesn't has to be php.
