I\'m maintaining a PHP library that is responsible for fetching and storing incoming data (POST, GET, command line arguments, etc). I\'ve just fixed a bug that would not all

Answer 1

So if a CLI is as such

php path\to\script.php param1=no+array param2[]=is+array param2[]=of+two

Then the function thats reads this can be

function getArguments($args){
    unset($args[0]); //remove the path to script variable
    $string = implode('&',$args);
    parse_str($string, $params);
    return $params;
}

This would give you

Array
(
    [param1] => no array
    [param2] => Array
             (
                 [0] => is array
                 [1] => of two
             )
)
