Introduction - Options
Getopt() supports two types of options: short options and long options
Calling a script with short and long options
# Using short optionsmyphpscript -q -l en -o
# Using long options insteadmyphpscript --quite --lang=en --option
# Mixing bothmyphpscript -q --lang=en -o
You have to define which options you want to support. The second argument of getopt() requires a string containing all supported chars. For the example above this would be at least:
<?php
$shortoptions = "qlo";
?>
The order of the characters is not important. Often you have to define options with (optional) parameters. To express that a option requires a parameter, you have to add a colon. If the parameter is optional, add a double colon, ie:
<?php
$shortoptions = "ql:o::";
?>
this means the following script calls are permitted, ie.
whilst
is not permitted. The -l option requires a parameter, if the option is used.
The long options work equally, but they have to be defined in an array:
<?php
$longoptions = array("quite", "lang", "option");
?>
For defining optional parameters, use '=' and '==' like the colon in short options.
<?php
$longoptions = array("quite", "lang=", "option==");
?>
The returned options array
The return value is an array of two elements: the list of parsed options and the list of non-option command-line arguments. Each entry in the list of parsed options is a pair of elements - the first one specifies the option, and the second one specifies the option argument, if there was one, else the value is NULL.
