From: echo15 at delirium dot ch Operating system: Linux 2.4.20 PHP version: 4.3.4 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: PHP (CLI) argument passing
Description: ------------ Hi Devs I guess since 4.3.3 the arguments passed to PHP (CLI) are handled differently. Here's an example: test.php reads: <?php print "text is ->".$text."<-\n" ?> with php 4.3.2: # php test.php "text=foobar" ->foobar<- with php 4.3.3: # php test.php "text=foobar" -><- The arguments are now found only in $argv. While this makes sense at first, some people use the PHP CLI to do subrequests. Let's assume you have two webservers, one delivering WWW and another one delivering WAP content. The WAP server is doing a subrequest to the WWW server (using PHP CLI) and piping the output through a conversion script 'html2wml'. In order for this to work, the PHP CLI should hold an option to allow passing the arguments to $_POST or $_GET instead of $argv. I don't see a way to do this as of now but by adding code to the page on the WWW server – which is most clumsy as this code is not needed for pages delivered to a WWW user agent. How about a command line argument like: -x (--argv-to-request) xerox arguments to $_REQUEST Many thanks for giving it a thought. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27239&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27239&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27239&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27239&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27239&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27239&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27239&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27239&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27239&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27239&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27239&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27239&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27239&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27239&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27239&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27239&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27239&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27239&r=float
