How can you pass parameters to a PHP script in a cron job?

When setting up a cron job to run a PHP script, you can pass parameters to the script by including them in the command line call. Within the PHP script, you can access these parameters using the $argv array. Simply specify the parameters after the script name when setting up the cron job. 

<?php

// Access parameters passed to the PHP script
$param1 = $argv[1];
$param2 = $argv[2];

// Use the parameters in your script
echo "Parameter 1: $param1\n";
echo "Parameter 2: $param2\n";

?>
