Here's <losbrutos at free dot fr> function modified to support unix like param syntax like <B Crawford> mentions:
<?php
function arguments($argv) {
$_ARG = array();
foreach ($argv as $arg) {
if (preg_match('#^-{1,2}([a-zA-Z0-9]*)=?(.*)$#', $arg, $matches)) {
$key = $matches[1];
switch ($matches[2]) {
case '':
case 'true':
$arg = true;
break;
case 'false':
$arg = false;
break;
default:
$arg = $matches[2];
}
if(preg_match("/^-([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/", $matches[0], $match)) {
$string = $match[1];
for($i=0; strlen($string) > $i; $i++) {
$_ARG[$string[$i]] = true;
}
} else {
$_ARG[$key] = $arg;
}
} else {
$_ARG['input'][] = $arg;
}
}
return $_ARG;
}
?>
Sample:
eromero@ditto ~/workspace/snipplets $ foxogg2mp3.php asdf asdf --help --dest=/var/ -asd -h
Array
(
[input] => Array
(
[0] => /usr/local/bin/foxogg2mp3.php
[1] => asdf
[2] => asdf
)
[help] => 1
[dest] => /var/
[a] => 1
[s] => 1
[d] => 1
[h] => 1
)
