I have tries the following script (test.php):

    <?php var_dump($argv); ?>

With:

    php test.php a b c

and the results are:

    array(4) {
      [0]=>
      string(8) "test.php"
      [1]=>
      string(1) "a"
      [2]=>
      string(1) "b"
      [3]=>
      string(1) "c"
    }

What was new to me, is that

    php test.php a+b+c

produces the same ;) So if this is intentional,
then it should be documented at least ;)

The same effect is reproduceable with:

    php test.php a=b=c
    php test.php a;b;c

Is this still valid with the CLI? Or are you talking about the CGI executable?
(Can't reproduce it with the CLI on Linux)
 [2002-08-13 07:21 UTC] goba@php.net 
I tested this with the CGI one, probably it's not a problem with the CLI.

This was one of the reasons CLI was created in the first place - to get rid of all CGI specific (mis)features.

This issue should probably be mentioned in the command line chapter.

with cgi-version(4.2.1, win2k):

test.php a b c

array(4) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "test.php"
  [1]=>
  string(1) "a"
  [2]=>
  string(1) "b"
  [3]=>
  string(1) "c"
}
php test.php a+b+c
array(4) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "test.php"
  [1]=>
  string(1) "a"
  [2]=>
  string(1) "b"
  [3]=>
  string(1) "c"
}

php test.php a=b=c

array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "test.php"
  [1]=>
  string(5) "a=b=c"
}

php test.php a;b;c

array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "test.php"
  [1]=>
  string(5) "a;b;c"
}

Only a+b+c seems to bahave "strange".

with cli-version(4.2.1,win2k):

php-cli test.php a b c
array(4) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "test.php"
  [1]=>
  string(1) "a"
  [2]=>
  string(1) "b"
  [3]=>
  string(1) "c"
}

php-cli test.php a+b+c
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "test.php"
  [1]=>
  string(5) "a+b+c"
}

php-cli test.php a=b=c
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "test.php"
  [1]=>
  string(5) "a=b=c"
}

php-cli test.php a;b;c
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "test.php"
  [1]=>
  string(5) "a;b;c"
)

The same results for cgi and cli version in 4.2.2 on win.
Only a+b+c seems to be strange with the cgi.

Ups, I double checked my PHP version and it as 4.1.2 and not 4.2.1, so I had more strange behaviours with the CGI version... Seems like some things were corrected between 4.1.2 and 4.2.1...

with cgi 4.1.2 on win i get only strange results for a+b+c

php test.php a+b+c
array(4) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "test.php"
  [1]=>
  string(1) "a"
  [2]=>
  string(1) "b"
  [3]=>
  string(1) "c"
}

This is how CGI binary works. Use CLI (in the cli folder as of 4.3.0) if you don't want those "strange" results.
