    Steve,

    You'd need to transpose the $_GET variables from the request to
$argv variables via the CLI.  I don't know exactly how Java would
handle it, but the PHP equivalent (though rather recursive and
unnecessary, it's just here for demonstration purposes) would be:

<?
    foreach($_GET as $p => $v) {
        $data .= " ".$p."=".$v;
    }
    exec('`which php` '.$filename.$data,$ret); // This would work on Linux....
    // exec('X:\path\to\php.exe '.$filename.$data,$ret);
?>

    Then, in the PHP script, if it wants $_GET variables, you simple
reverse-transpose the variables like so:

<?
// cliscript.php
// Test this from the CLI like so:
// php cliscript.php nothing=nill apple=orange foo=bar testvar=itworks

for($i=1;$i<count($argv);$i++) {
        $variables = split("=",$argv[$i]);
        $_GET[$variables[0]] = $variables[1];
}

echo $_GET['testvar']."\n";
?>


    Of course, remember to sanitize all of your input properly.
Someone else will probably provide a better example than this in some
way, but in the interest of a quick reply, that will get you started.
