[PHP-WIN] + character in a command line argument From: mmy (mmouly <email protected>)
Date: 03/30/03

Hi!

I'm using PHP 4.3.1, IE 5.5, Win ME

I'm trying to use php through DOS command line.

Running the very basic script

$argv = $_SERVER['argv'];
var_dump($argv);

I noticed that the command line arguments are split at a + character, even
if between double quotes.

for instance

php test.php a+b

or

php test.php "a+b"

both return 3 arguments, "test.php", "a" and "b".

I don't know if it is a DOS or php problem (though if you name a file
a+b.txt, the DOS command type a+b.txt runs correctly, which seems to
exonerate DOS...).

My questions are more practical : does anybody knows how to pass a + in an
argument?? Are there other characters that are special in addition to " and
+ ??

Thanks in advance
