Your example was...
php myscript.php value
That is just a value, no parameter name as with a query string, take this
example...
php myscript.php a b
Let's say that this was requested from a browser like myscript.php?1=a&2=b
PHP uses 1 & 2 to refer to the values, but the values would get mixed up if
I was to use...
$argv[0] & $argv[1]
and the order of a and b were different when the script was called. Does
that make sense? I find it odd that I need to write more code to 1) check
$_GET and 2) check $argv, also simple error checking will fail for command
line stuff when checking that all the required params are present.
