note 53410 added to function.getopt

This is how I parse command line options: <?php $OPTION['debug'] = false; $OPTION['test'] = false; $OPTION['force'] = ""; //loop through our arguments and see what the user selected for ($i = 1; $i < $_SERVER["argc"]; $i++) { switch($_SERVER["argv"][$i]) { case "-v": case "--version": echo $_SERVER['argv'][0]." v07.19.04 06:10 PM\n"; exit; break; case "--debug": $OPTION['debug'] = true; break; case "--force": $OPTION['force'] = " --force"; break; case "--db": case "--database": case "--id": if ( is_numeric($_SERVER['argv'][$i+1]) ) $OPTION['CompanyID'] = intval($_SERVER['argv'][++$i]); else //it must be a database name $OPTION['CompanyDB'] = $_SERVER['argv'][++$i]; break; case "--base": case "--basedir": case "--dir": $OPTION['basedir'] = $_SERVER["argv"][++$i]; break; case "--test": $OPTION['test'] = true; break; case "-?": case "-h": case "--help": ?> This will print any .txt files, process any .sql files and execute any .php files found starting from the base directory '<?=$OPTION['basedir']?>' in alphabetical order. Usage: <?php echo $_SERVER['argv'][0]; ?> <option> --help, -help, -h, or -? to get this help. --version to return the version of this file. --debug to turn on output debugging. --test to fake the SQL and PHP commands. --force to ignore SQL errors and keep on going. --db [CompanyDB] to apply to only this [CompanyDB]. --id [CompanyID] to apply to only this [CompanyID]. --basedir [directory] to change base directory from <?=$OPTION['basedir']?>. Omitting the CompanyID or CompanyDB will cause ALL Company DB's to be updated. There are global files and per-company files. Global files are applied to global databases (see list below). Their filename contains a tag that reflects the database to apply them against. Per-company files are applied against databases. Their filename contains a tag that reads 'COMPANY'. Files should be in <?=$OPTION['basedir']?>; Global files that are understood: <?=$OPTION['basedir']?> <?php foreach ($GLOBAL_SQL_FILES as $sqlFile) echo $sqlFile." "; ?> <?php exit; break; } } //parse arguments // print_r($OPTION); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getopt.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+53410 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53410&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53410&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53410&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53410&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53410&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+53410&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
