The installed php on CentOS/RHEL is the CGI version. This means I should be able to get command line arguments with $GLOBALS['argv'] or $_SERVER['argv']. That's how the php documentation tells and how it works f.i. on Suse. However, on CentOS I get them only when I use the -n switch to php (no php.ini). The problem with -n is that php cannot find the mysql_connect function for some unknown reason.
So, how can I get to argv without using -n? Or can I add the cli version with an additional rpm? I search with yum for php-cli and cli-php, but didn't find such a package.
The mysql functionality is loaded as a module which is included from php.ini. If you don't load php.ini, you get no mysql.
