Given the script:

<? print_r($_SERVER['argv']); ?>

When run via a shebang within the file:

% test.php --a=1 --b=2 --c=3
Array
(
    [0] => ./test.php
    [1] => --a=1
    [2] => --b=2
    [3] => --c=3
)

Ok, that's good. Now, running the same script by calling the PHP binary directly:

% php -f test.php --a=1 --b=2 --c=3
Array
(
    [0] => test.php
    [1] => --b=2
    [2] => --c=3
)

Hey, where's my --a=1? I get these same results with 4.2.2 CGI, 4.2.3 CGI, and 4.2.3 CLI.

Doh, I'm an idiot.

% php -f test.php -- --a=1 --b=2 --c=3

Duh. Nevermind. :(
