(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
$argc — The number of arguments passed to script
Contains the number of arguments passed to the current script when running from the command line.
Note: The script's filename is always passed as an argument to the script, therefore the minimum value of $argc is
1.
Note: This variable is not available when register_argc_argv is disabled.
Example #1 $argc example
<?php
var_dump($argc);
?>When executing the example with: php script.php arg1 arg2 arg3
The above example will output something similar to:
int(4)
Note:
This is also available as $_SERVER['argc'].
