Sorry about the typing error.<br />
<br />
Make sure you read the introduction of the referenced php link &quot;<a href="http://us3.php.net/features.commandline" rel="ugc">http://us3.php.net/features.commandline</a>&quot;<br />
<br />
Depending on your PHP version / build, it's possible that you need to change php.ini settings to be able to access the argv array.<br />
<br />
( &nbsp;e.g register_argc_argv TRUE )<br />
<br />

I do apologise, I totally skipped over the link.<br />
<br />
It's working now that I edited my php.ini to say register_argc_argv = on<br />
<br />
Thanks:)

Hi<br />
<br />
Can somebody show me how to make a php script that I can run from the windows command line and pass a variable to it. <br />
<br />
A simple example is a script that echo's whatever variable was passed to it from the command line<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
