How to set GET and POST variables through CLI?

Hi, I'd like to use the command line interface to test my php files before I put them live. However I can't figure out how to pass variables so the php program sees them as if they came in via an HTTP GET request. For example, if the url would be this on the server: http://some.server.com/mypage.php?parm1=Hello&parm2=Goodbye and in mypage.php I do something like this: $echo $_GET["parm1"]; then how do I test this via the PHP command line? Am I missing something simple? I tried this but it doesn't work: php.exe -f mypage.php -- parm1=Hello parm2=Goodbye Thanks for any help. -- Steve
