parameters and commandline

[Alexander Gausa]

hi
i want to start a php programm from commandline and pass some parameters to
the programm. but the programm did not recognize the parameters.

the commandline ist: php liste.php para1=one para2=two

the source (list.php)

....
echo $_request[para1];
echo $_request[para2];
....

why does this not work?

When using PHP from the command line you need to use the array $argv.
The $_REQUEST superglobal is only available when running via a web
server.

For example:
cmdline.php contains:
<?
print_r ($argv);
?>

When run from the command line:
php -q cmdline.php para1=one para2=two

The results are:
Array
(
[0] => cmdline.php
[1] => para1=one
[2] => para2=two
)
