Any parameters passed from the command line go to the $argv array, but you cannot specify the key ( they are put in the order in which they appear ). So calling: php.exe foo.php "foo1" "foo2" would call foo.php and $argv would have: 0 => 'foo.php' 1 => 'foo1' 2 => 'foo2' I suppose you could have something in front of the file that read the arguments and put them into the $_GET array.
