122. Product Review - Altra Samson Minimalist Shoes

125. Specify QUERY_STRING to PHP CLI
Thanks to an ancient http://PHP.net comment (http://www.php.net/manual/en/features....php#26201) and a Joomla! forum post (http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php...3#p1318363), I was able to figure out how to run a Joomla php script from the command line and specify query parameters *without* having to modify any of the PHP code to parse the arguments / options.

Children and ...

139. Lloyd Clarke Sports - wall of shoes
