How to get batch (cmd) variables in php?

Question

So here is what I am trying to do. I have two files: .bat and .php

run.bat:

set password = ok123
php -f data.php

data.php:

<?php
$pass = %password%;
echo '.$password.'

I need to pass the password from the bat file to the php script. What is the best way to do this?

set password = ok123

will set a variable "password " to " ok123".

spaces are significant on both sides of a string set statement. Lose the spaces!

Run the PHP script like this, as you dont want to place a password in an environment variable

php data.php paswd123

data.php

<?php
if ( $argc < 2 ) {
    echo 'call this script using the password as a parameter';
    exit;
}

$password = $argv[1];

The manual http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.argv.php

If you want to set environment variables, like you did with set command, you can access them in PHP using $_ENV array. So in your situation password will be stored as $_ENV['password'].
