$GLOBALS["argv"] and $argv empty, $_SERVER["argv"] just fine
php
Solution
I had the same problem with no `$_SERVER['argv'];`
Try `php-cli` instead of `php`:
$job = "* * * * * php-cli /home/user/file.php surf";
it worked for me!
Problem
I am fighting with a (perhaps) simple problem with PHP CLI running on Hostgator shared hosting. A simple code: ``` <?php var_dump($argv); var_dump($GLOBALS["argv"]); var_dump($_SERVER["argv"]); var_dump(ini_get("register_argv_argv")); ?> ``` When run on my local machine as well as several other instances of php as: ``` php test.php arg1 ``` Outputs correctly as predicted: ``` array ( 0 => 'test.php', 1 => 'arg1' ) array ( 0 => 'test.php', 1 => 'arg1' ) array ( 0 => 'test.php', 1 => 'arg1' ) 1 ``` But run from cron on Hostgator shared hosting it outputs: ``` array ( ) NULL array ( 0 => 'test.php', 1 => 'arg1' ) 1 ``` The code I am fighting with is a legacy one and that relies heavily upon $GLOBALS["argv"] to parse command line parameters. I have no means to modify the whole codebase to rely on $_SERVER["argv"] instead. What might be the reason why all my instances of PHP fills all the arrays with commandline parameters, and the hosted php on Hostgator does not populate $GLOBALS["argv"] at all? I made a workaround to deal with this problem, but I hate when I don't know why something is happening :) Thanks for any ideas!
