Possible to pass parms when calling php from command line?

[hstraf]

Hi there,

I have a script that I want to call from within a web page, and I'll like to pass in some parameters..

For example, this is what I'd like on the web page:

<?php include("file.php?setting1=value&setting2=value"); ?>

Is this sort of thing possible?

I believe file.php already can see setting1 and setting2 so you don't need to pass them.

So that's how I would pass values into a script even if I don't call it from the web?

[johnn]

I'm not sure what you mean. But if you have

$setting1 = something;
$setting2 = something;
....
<?php include("file.php"); ?>

Then file.php already knows what $setting1 and $setting2 are.

I can only have one line on my web page.. and I need to be able to call the php program AND pass in certain values. On the web page, there can't be other php code or HTML forms or anything. There is only the one line that calls a php program. So I need to be able to pass in the values along with the call to the program. (I can't set the values in the script any other way.)

Thanks.

I see. So where do those 2 settings come from? if they are not from any where in current page and you just want to set them, why not have those 2 settings in file.php itself?

[hstraf]

They need to be set on the webpage and not in the file.php program, because the file.php program is a generic script that is expecting incoming variables.

The file.php is a script that expects a "server" value and then takes an action depending on that value.

If you don't mind then display those 2 settings. If it's secret, then sorry, I couldn't help.
