Passing Arguments to php from command line?

Hi, I have a pretty simple question.
Is it possible to pass arguments to php if you're running it from command line instead of in a browser? Like:

# /usr/local/bin/php test.php Hello

Or could you do something like

#/usr/local/bin/php test.php?arg=Hello

(I tried the later and it didn't work but maybe I did something wrong.)

Heya, Muffinthief.

Check out Using PHP from the Command Line (http://php.net/features.commandline), especially the part about argc and argv.
