If you're running from the command line, you can use
standard command line arguments. In the file they'll
be entered into the array $argv[]. $argv[0] is the name
of the script called, and each other argument is
consecutively numbered.
For example the file test.php:
<? #test.php
print("Arg0 is $argv[0]\nArgv1 is $argv[1]\n");
?>
running: c:\php\php.exe -q test.php SERVERNAME
would print:
Argv0 is test.php
Argv1 is SERVERNAME
If you want to use the same php file on the server as for
command line, just put a check at the start to see if argv
is defined and has elements, and if so, map them to your
QUERY equivalants.
(e.g. if(count(argv)>1) {$servername=$argv[1]} )
