How do I pass parameters into a PHP script through a webpage

Question

I am calling a PHP script whenever a webpage loads  However  there is a parameter that the PHP script needs to run  which I normally pass through the command line when I am testing the script     How can I pass this argument every time the script is run when the page loads

argv 0      the script name  argv 1      the first parameter  argv 2      the second parameter   If you want to all the script to run regardless of where you call it from  command line or from the browser  you ll want something like the following    lt  php if    GET         argument1     GET  argument1         argument2     GET  argument2      else        argument1    argv 1        argument2    argv 2       gt    To call from command line chmod 755  var www webroot index php and use   usr bin php  var www webroot index php arg1 arg2   To call from the browser  use  http   www mydomain com index php argument1 arg1 amp argument2 arg2

Presumably you re passing the arguments in on the command line as follows   php  path to wwwpublic path to script php arg1 arg2       and then accessing them in the script thusly    lt  php     argv 0  is   path to wwwpublic path to script php   argument1    argv 1    argument2    argv 2     gt    What you need to be doing when passing arguments through HTTP  accessing the script over the web  is using the query string and access them through the   GET superglobal   Go to http   yourdomain com path to script php argument1 arg1 amp argument2 arg2      and access    lt  php  argument1     GET  argument1     argument2     GET  argument2      gt    If you want the script to run regardless of where you call it from  command line or from the browser  you ll want something like the following   EDIT  as pointed out by Cthulhu in the comments  the most direct way to test which environment you re executing in is to use the PHP SAPI constant   I ve updated the code accordingly    lt  php if  PHP SAPI      cli          argument1    argv 1        argument2    argv 2     else        argument1     GET  argument1         argument2     GET  argument2        gt
