Shell run/execute php script with parameters

Question

I need to execute a php file with parameters through shell.

here is how I would run the php file:

php -q htdocs/file.php

Answer 1

You need to read command line parameters from $argc and $argv.

Using a question mark is something you do in a URL and has nothing to do with executing PHP from a command line.
