I'm attempting to execute a PHP script from the command line in Windows 10 while using XAMPP for localhost.
From the Git terminal application on Windows 10, I'm running the following command:
/c/xampp/php/php.exe /path/to/script/script.php arg1=val1
The script executes correctly, but when I try to do the following:
print_r($argv);
I get the following error:
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: argv in /path/to/script/script.php on line line-#.
Also, php_sapi_name()
returns cli
, so I should be good, but both $argv
and $argc
return as undefined.
Does anyone know why? Thanks.
As docs say, $argv
and $argc
are not defined unless this feature is explicitly enabled via php.ini
's register_argc_argv, so check your config file first.
But regardless of the check results, I'd rather recommend using $_SERVER['argv']
/ $_SERVER['argc']
instead ($_SERVER
is populated also in CLI), as this is not affected by register_argc_argv
.
