How to use command line options with phing

Question

Is it possible if phing will do some task depending on the command line?

Example:

phing install tag = 1.0 dest = / tmp / 1.0

In fact, I see only 3 ways to do this.

• phing install -Dtag = 1.0 -Ddest = / tmp / 1.0
• using a hint (there is something like PromptTask)
• implementation of my task and playing with $ argv (global)

When calling phing-target from the command line, are other command line arguments useless?

Answer 1

It seems that defining a property with -D is the official way: http://www.phing.info/trac/ticket/175
