The help document of php misses two options #9670
Description
The "-h" option of php misses the option "C", "q".
- For the option "C", the following code appears during option parsing in sapi/cli/php_cli.c:701-703 for version 8.0.23.
case 'C': /* don't chdir to the script directory */
/* This is default so NOP */
break;
- For the option "q", the following code appears during option parsing in sapi/cli/php_cli.c:737-739 for version 8.0.23.
case 'q': /* do not generate HTTP headers */
/* This is default so NOP */
break;
Although it has no actual function, it is still possible forget to modify the help document after adding the function in a subsequent update.
But they do not appear in the document provided by "-h".
It may prevent users from using the relevant function.

Right, but again this is a php-src issue (the options are already documented in the PHP manual). And while I agree that these options should be listed by
php -h, we should consider to remove them from the CLI API.Truta446 commentedon Oct 27, 2026
