Description
Description
The following code:
<?php
var_dump(filter_input(INPUT_SERVER, 'argv'));
when called in a shell in this way:
php index.php
resulted in this output:
NULL
But I expected this output instead:
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(9) "index.php"
}
Or put another way, filter_input(INPUT_SERVER, 'argv') and $_SERVER['argv'] are not working on the same data.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the shown filter_input(INPUT_SERVER, 'argv') snippet in CLI mode using php index.php, then trace the filter_input handling for INPUT_SERVER and compare it with $_SERVER['argv']. Done means the filtered result reflects the same argv data and the behavior is covered by an appropriate regression test.
