with cgi-version(4.2.1, win2k):

test.php a b c

array(4) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "test.php"
  [1]=>
  string(1) "a"
  [2]=>
  string(1) "b"
  [3]=>
  string(1) "c"
}
php test.php a+b+c
array(4) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "test.php"
  [1]=>
  string(1) "a"
  [2]=>
  string(1) "b"
  [3]=>
  string(1) "c"
}

php test.php a=b=c

array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "test.php"
  [1]=>
  string(5) "a=b=c"
}

php test.php a;b;c

array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "test.php"
  [1]=>
  string(5) "a;b;c"
}

Only a+b+c seems to bahave "strange".

with cli-version(4.2.1,win2k):

php-cli test.php a b c
array(4) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "test.php"
  [1]=>
  string(1) "a"
  [2]=>
  string(1) "b"
  [3]=>
  string(1) "c"
}

php-cli test.php a+b+c
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "test.php"
  [1]=>
  string(5) "a+b+c"
}

php-cli test.php a=b=c
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "test.php"
  [1]=>
  string(5) "a=b=c"
}

php-cli test.php a;b;c
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "test.php"
  [1]=>
  string(5) "a;b;c"
)

The same results for cgi and cli version in 4.2.2 on win.
Only a+b+c seems to be strange with the cgi.

This was one of the reasons CLI was created in the first place - to get
rid of all CGI specific (mis)features.

This issue should probably be mentioned in the command line chapter.

I tested this with the CGI one, probably it's not a problem with the
CLI.

Is this still valid with the CLI? Or are you talking about the CGI
executable?
(Can't reproduce it with the CLI on Linux)

The same effect is reproduceable with:

    php test.php a=b=c
    php test.php a;b;c

I have tries the following script (test.php):

    <?php var_dump($argv); ?>

With:

    php test.php a b c

and the results are:

    array(4) {
      [0]=>
      string(8) "test.php"
      [1]=>
      string(1) "a"
      [2]=>
      string(1) "b"
      [3]=>
      string(1) "c"
    }

What was new to me, is that

    php test.php a+b+c

produces the same ;) So if this is intentional,
then it should be documented at least ;)
