What are some alternative methods to passing variables from a batch file to a PHP script, besides using getenv()?

When passing variables from a batch file to a PHP script, an alternative method to using getenv() is to pass the variables as command line arguments. This can be achieved by appending the variables as arguments when calling the PHP script from the batch file. Within the PHP script, these arguments can be accessed using the $argv array. 

<?php
// batch_file.bat
@echo off
set var1=value1
set var2=value2
php script.php %var1% %var2%

// script.php
<?php
$var1 = $argv[1];
$var2 = $argv[2];
echo "Variable 1: $var1\n";
echo "Variable 2: $var2\n";
?>
