Rails, PHP and parameters

I working in Rails and I need to call to an PHP-script. I can connect to the script like this:

system('php public/myscript.php')

But I need to send some parameters with it. How do I do that?

Thanks

Yes its right way to use system('php public/myscript.php arg1 arg2') as SirDarius answered .

but system command will return the true or false in that case.

system() will return TrueClass or FalseClass and display output, try it on console .

I suggest , You can use the open method on any URL to call it, so you can call your PHP script using that:

require 'open-uri'

open('YOUR PHP SCRIPT PATH WITH PARAMETER') do |response|
  content = response.read
end

You can provide command-line arguments to your PHP script:

system('php public/myscript.php arg1 arg2')

They will be available from your PHP code like this:

echo $argv[0]; // public/myscript.php
echo $argv[1]; // arg1
echo $argv[2]; // arg2

You can just specify the parameters on the command line, such as system('php -f public/myscript.php argument1 argument2 [...]') and they will be available in the $argv[] array, starting from $argv[1]. See the doc page here for more info.
