Recently I had to call a PHP script within another script with some arguments. Normally you pass these parameters by GET or POST. But how to do it within another script? Here is how to run PHP script with parameters within another PHP script:

//set arguments 
$_SERVER['argv'][1] = '-action';
$_SERVER['argv'][2] = 'unsetMaintenanceMode';
$_SERVER['argv'][3] = '-initRedis';
$_SERVER['argv'][4] = '1';

//call script
unset($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']);
include(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/mage/shell/utils/maintenanceModeToggle.php');
