You can also pass arguments to the php file through the batch file if needed. I've used this loads recently mixing a crappy little VB app into PHP.
Check the manual, there's a nice chapter on running PHP on the command line, and helped me through most of the problem I had. If your only running php.exe for this one script, you might also consider making a custom php.ini file and putting it in with the php.exe folder. Although if you use php on your webserver on the same machine, this wouldn't be worth doing... chris kranz fatcuban.com -----Original Message----- From: Mike Brum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 24 March 2003 17:13 To: Henrik Bjernersjø; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] php as exe in windows The first step is to obviously install PHP and have it associated with .php files on your system and create your script that works 100% when you just double-click on the file. After that's working, create a .bat file that makes a call to the PHP executible (C:\PHP\php filename.php). Then, create a Scheduled Task (in the Control Panel) to run every 5 minutes that points to that batch file.

The application should look in my ftp-catalogue and move incomming files to other directories. I want to do this in php. Is it possible - and in that case - how?
