How can the getopt function in PHP be extended or replaced with alternative solutions for handling command line arguments?

The getopt function in PHP can be extended or replaced with alternative solutions like using the $argv and $argc variables to manually parse command line arguments. This can provide more flexibility and customization in handling command line options. 

// Manually parsing command line arguments using $argv and $argc
$options = getopt("a:b:c:");
if ($argc < 2 || !isset($options['a']) || !isset($options['b']) || !isset($options['c'])) {
    echo "Usage: php script.php -a valueA -b valueB -c valueC\n";
    exit(1);
}

$valueA = $options['a'];
$valueB = $options['b'];
$valueC = $options['c'];

// Rest of the script logic
