How to pass a posted variable from Bash to PHP?

[edge]

Anyone here who might know how I can pass a posted variable from Bash to a PHP script?

When I run in Bash

php logit.php

all is working fine, but when I try to add a variable like

php logit.php?takethis=123123

I get an error from Bash saying that the file can not be found!

Calling

php logit.php?takethis=123123

from the website does work fine.

The problem with Bash is the ?takethis=123123 part!

Can the call with the ?takethis=123123 to the PHP page been done an other way in Bash?

i don't use php but you can try:

php '?takethis=123123'

Maybe you can add this function:

function getInput() {
  $fr = fopen("php://stdin", "r");
  while (!feof ($fr)) {
    $input .= fgets($fr);
  }
  fclose($fr);
  return $input;
}

$takethis = getInput();

to your PHP script and then do something like this:

echo 123123 | php logit.php

Of course, you should check the $takethis variable before you continue (to avoid that someone tries to pass harmful code to your script).
