$argc

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

$argc — The number of arguments passed to script

Description

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.

Examples

Example #1 $argc example

<?phpvar_dump($argc);?>

When executing the example with: php script.php arg1 arg2 arg3

The above example will output something similar to:

int(4)

Notes

Note:

This is also available as $_SERVER['argc'].
