Issue with getting options from Command line

Question

OK, I know about getopt.

So, let's say if I want to have to options (e.g. a,b), I would do a getopt("a:b:") and something like php myscript.php -a someAvalue -b someBvalue would be perfectly recogniseable with the option values stored as they should.

Now what if I wanted to be able to recognise the most common type of syntax and still get getopt to work :

php myscript.php somefile.txt -a someAvalue -b someBvalue

Any ideas?

You can access the command line parameters using variable: $argv[]
