+          As of PHP 4.3.0, the <literal>PHP</literal> variables <literal>$argc</literal>
+          and <literal>$argv</literal> are registered and filled in with the appropriate 
+          values when using the <literal>CLI SAPI</literal>.  Before this time
+          the creation of these variables behaved as they do in
+          <literal>CGI</literal> and <literal>MODULE</literal> versions
+          which requires the PHP directive
+          <link linkend="ini.register-globals">register_globals</link> to
+          be <emphasis>on</emphasis>.  Regardless of version or register_globals
+          setting you can always go through either 
+          <link linkend="reserved.variables.server">$_SERVER</link> or 
+          <varname>$HTTP_SERVER_VARS</varname>.  Example:
