Thanks Daniel, I can certainly do that in Java without much trouble, 
however I was hoping to avoid needing to do things in each php file to 
convert argv into $_GET.  I want to be able to serve standard PHP 
without modifying each one.

But you made me realize there is a way.  I wrote a small "pre.php" file 
like this:
<?php
	#
	for($i=1;$i<count($argv);$i++) {
	        $variables = split("=",$argv[$i]);
	        $_GET[$variables[0]] = $variables[1];
	}
?>

and in my php.ini, I set this:
auto_prepend_file =e:\php523\pre.php

Now it works fine without having to modify the php code!  All I need to 
do is have the Java code set up the html parms as argv, and I'm done.
