php script in CLI with user imput

[BRADERY]

So say I have a script, it calls for a text file in the script. Instead of putting the name of the text file is there a way I can run the script then type the name of the file in the CLI?

You can use $_SERVER['argv'] to get arguments passed.  Example:

 

CLI:

php.exe script.php filename.txt

 

script.php

print_r($_SERVER['argv']);

 

output:

Array
(
  [0] => script.php
  [1] => filename.txt
)
