How to retrieve a php batch parameter's value?

Question

I understand that PHP's $argv returns an array with parameters provided at the command line.

I was wondering if there is a function to retrieve the value assigned to a parameter or not. For example:

php mybatch.php --xxx=3

Such function f($argv,"xxx") would return 3. Or do I have to implement it myself?

The function getopt offers a bit more details and features when dealing with command-line parameters: You want to pass a long parameter, so this will do:

<?php
$opts = getopt(null, ['xxx:']);

if (isset($opts['xxx'])) {
    echo 'Parameter xxx: ' . $opts['xxx'];
}

Result:

Parameter xxx: 3
