Re: [PHPLIB] Arguments to PHP script. From: garyb <email protected>

GET method is essentially a descendant of command line processing, while
POST uses stdin. The following is my recollection from the distant past so
it's probably not quite correct.

I can't recall exactly, but for GET, I think you can either put the
variables in your environment, like so (csh):
        set myvar=42
        set another=hello
        somefile.php3
(assuming you have #!/path/to/php in your script and it's executable)

or (unsure of the exact syntax - you might need '' around the args)
        php somefile.php3 myvar=42 another=hello

You can use POST like this:
        somefile.php3 << EOF
        myvar=42
        another=hello
        EOF
