$argv

(No version information available, might be only in CVS)

$argv — Array of arguments passed to script

Description

Contains an array of all the arguments passed to the script when running from the command line.

Note: The first argument is always the current script's filename, therefore $argv[0] is the script's name.

Note: This variable is only available when register_argc_argv is enabled.

Examples

Example #1 $argv example

<?php
var_dump
($argv);
?>

When executing the example with: php script.php arg1 arg2 arg3

The above example will output something similar to:

array(4) {
  [0]=>
  string(10) "script.php"
  [1]=>
  string(4) "arg1"
  [2]=>
  string(4) "arg2"
  [3]=>
  string(4) "arg3"
}
