passing parameter to running batch file

Question

I have running batch file as my socket listener that will receive data from connected client. I want to send command to the connected client through web page, but I am having problem or I have no idea on how to get this work, to pass the parameter to the my running batch file listener.

I tried this code snippet in sending command to client of my running batch file.

if(isset($_GET['comparam'])) {
  $mycommand = $_GET['comparam'];
   foreach ($clients as $send_sock) {
       socket_write($send_sock, $mycommand);
   }
}

but nothing happens, my code is not working.

I appreciate someone can help me on this problem.

You are running php from a bacth file so it is PHP CLI.

$_GET is for the web version such notion does not exist in Command lines.

The way you would pass argument is like this:

C:\some\path\yourScript.php comparam

Then you would read the value from the script like the following:

if(isset($argv[1])){  
   $mycommand = $argv[1];
   foreach ($clients as $send_sock) {
      socket_write($send_sock, $mycommand);
   } 
}

$argv — Array of arguments passed to script
