Secondly, in file 1 you are using serialize() to package the $_FILES array. Yet in file 2 you are not using unserialize() to extract the data from the package. I would suggest reading here http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php to get a better understanding of how to access the arguments that you are passing on the cli. > > $filename1 should now be recognized file name from a file provided in the > first form, and if statement then runs the file to process to read the file, > it seems here the process either does not get any file (so filename is never > true) or the file process have no file to work with.
