Executing php script with parameter using powershell

Question

I am trying to call the PHP file by, passing the request_number in the localhost URL using Powershell

In HTML:

<a href='workflow_execution_progress.php?view_id=".$row['request_number']."' title='Click to see the progress of workflow'>

I referred to this link but not sure to modify it with parameters. Executing php script on powershell

Update: My PowerShell

$PhpExe  = "C:\path\to\php\install\dir\php.exe"
$PhpFile = "C:\path\to\script.php"
$PhpArgs = '-f "{0}"' -f $PhpFile  //args like view_id = 1 / 2 /3 (dynamically)
$PhpOutput = & $PhpExe $PhpArgs

If you call a local PHP file through powershell, then there's not "url" involve (since you're not making a network request). — M. Eriksson

You can use $argv to get an array of arguments passed to the script.

https://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.argv.php

php script.php arg1 arg2 arg3

<?php
var_dump($argv);
?>

array(4) {
  [0]=>
  string(10) "script.php"
  [1]=>
  string(4) "arg1"
  [2]=>
  string(4) "arg2"
  [3]=>
  string(4) "arg3"
}

Maybe I did not understand your problem. I am not sure if it is about how to get the argument passed to the script, or how to pass arguments ?

Need to pass arguments to the PHP file using powershell script. - how to pass arguments

I don't get it. I read your update but why not just place arguments after $Phpfile ? $PhpArgs = '-f "{0}"' -f $PhpFile 'view_id=1'
