$argv
PHP function
Edit on GitHub ✎
Array of arguments passed to script
Description
Contains an array of all the arguments passed to the script when running from the command line.
Note
The first argument $argv[0] is always the name that was used to run the script.
Note
This variable is not available when register_argc_argv is disabled.
Warning
To test if a script is being run from the command line, php_sapi_name() should be used instead of checking whether $argv or $_SERVER['argv'] is set.
