Note: when using CLI $argc (as well as $argv) are always available, regardless of register_argc_argv, as explained at http://docs.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php
$argc
$argc — The number of arguments passed to script
Description
Contains the number of arguments passed to the current script when running from the command line.
Note: The script's filename is always passed as an argument to the script, therefore the minimum value of $argc is 1.
Note: This variable is only available when register_argc_argv is enabled.
Examples
Example #1 $argc example
<?php
var_dump($argc);
?>
When executing the example with: php script.php arg1 arg2 arg3
The above example will output something similar to:
int(4)
