Typically  for passing arguments to a command line script  you will use either argv global variable or getopt      bash command       php -e myscript php hello echo  argv 1      prints hello     bash command       php -e myscript php -f world  opts   getopt  f     echo  opts  f       prints world     GET refers to the HTTP GET method parameters  which are unavailable in command line  since they require a web server to populate   If you really want to populate   GET anyway  you can do this      bash command       export QUERY STRING  var value amp arg value    php -e myscript php parse str   SERVER  QUERY STRING      GET   print r   GET      outputs       Array           var    gt  value          arg    gt  value             You can also execute a given script  populate   GET from the command line  without having to modify said script   export QUERY STRING  var value amp arg value      php -e -r  parse str   SERVER  QUERY STRING      GET   include  index php      Note that you can do the same with   POST and   COOKIE as well

Sometimes you don t have the option of editing the php file to set   GET to the parameters passed in  and sometimes you can t or don t want to install php-cgi   I found this to be the best solution for that case   php -r    GET  key    value   require once  script php        This avoids altering your php file and lets you use the plain php command  If you have php-cgi installed  by all means use that  but this is the next best thing  Thought this options was worthy of mention  the -r means run the php code in the string following  you set the   GET value manually there  and then reference the file you want to run    Its worth noting you should run this in the right folder  often but not always the folder the php file is in  Requires statements will use the location of your command to resolve relative urls  NOT the location of the file

-- Option 1  php-cgi --  Use  php-cgi  in place of  php  to run your script  This is the simplest way as you won t need to specially modify your php code to work with it   php-cgi -f  my script file php a 1 b 2 c 3   -- Option 2  if you have a web server --  If the php file is on a web server you can use  wget  on the command line   wget  http   localhost my script file php a 1 amp b 2 amp c 3    OR    wget -q -O -  http   localhost my script file php a 1 amp b 2 amp c 3    -- Accessing the variables in php --  In both option 1  amp  2 you access these parameters like this    a     GET  a     b     GET  b     c     GET  c

From this answer on ServerFault   Use the php-cgi binary instead of just php  and pass the arguments on the command line  like this   php-cgi -f index php left 1058 right 1067 class A language English   Which puts this in   GET   Array        left    gt  1058      right    gt  1067      class    gt  A      language    gt  English     You can also set environment variables that would be set by the web server  like this   REQUEST URI   index php  SCRIPT NAME   index php  php-cgi -f index php left 1058 right 1067 class A language English

If you have the possibility to edit the PHP script  you can artificially populate   GET array using the following code at the beginning of the script and then call the script with the syntax  php -f script php name1 value1 name2 value2     When invoking the script via CLI like  php -f script php name1 value1 name2 value2   this code will populate   GET variables called  name1  and  name2   so a script designed to be called by a web server will work even when called by CLI if  php sapi name       cli         for   c   1   c  lt   argc   c               param   explode       argv  c   2             GET  param 0      param 1        GET  name1      value1

php file name php var1 var2 varN   Then set your   GET variables on your first line in PHP  although this is not the desired way of setting a   GET variable and you may experience problems depending on what you do later with that variable   if  isset  argv 1           GET  variable name      argv 1       the variables you launch the script with will be accessible from the  argv array in your PHP app   the first entry will the name of the script they came from  so you may want to do  an array shift  argv  to drop that first entry if you want to process a bunch of variables  Or just load into a local variable

If you need to pass   GET    REQUEST    POST  or anything else you can also use PHP interactive mode   php -a   Then type    lt  php   GET  a   1    POST  b   2  include   somefolder some file path php      This will manually set any variables you want and then run your php file with those variables set

php -r  parse str  argv 2    GET  include  argv 1    index php   a 1 amp b 2   You could make the first part as an alias    alias php-get  php -r     parse str  argv 2    GET  include  argv 1       then simply use   php-get some script php  a 1 amp b 2 amp c 3
