HELP
I have just started to work with PHP.
When I attempt to execute a PHP script I always get the error msg
Could not open input file: <file-path-name>
I did not find anything about this being a known problem in the archive
so presume I am doing something wrong.
How can I resolve this problem?

DETAILS
I downloaded the Windows 5.3.3_VC6 version of PHP onto a XP system and
did a manual install as per the install.txt file. The install was
performed as a regular user rather than Administrator.
1.
When I use the PHP CLI program to execute a PHP function from the cmd
line as in
php -r "phpinfo();" > php_results
I get the expected data in the output file.
2.
I created a PHP script file named phpinfo.php (in the directory
X:\work\hholcomb\PHP\test) using Wordpad to execute the phpinfo()
function. The script file permissions are
Everyone - Modify, Read&Execute, Read, Write
The script file is NOT Read-only, Hidden or Archive
3.
When I use the PHP CLI program to execute a PHP script file from the cmd
line as in
php -f "X:\work\hholcomb\PHP\test\phpinfo.php"
I get the error
Could not open input file: X:\work\hholcomb\PHP\test\phpinfo.php
4.
There are no error log entries
5.
The changes I made to the php.ini file are
-----------------------------------
X:\work\hholcomb\PHP\extract_5.3.3_VC6>diff C:\windows\php.ini
php.ini-production
123d122
< log_errors = On

--------------------------------------
I have done the following to isolate/resolve the problem
1. validated that the script file does exist in the specified
directory and is
accessible using the DOS "type" command - file contents are
displayed
2. tried using UNIX slashes in the path to the script file - same
result
3. tried running from the directory containing the script file and
just
specifying the name of the file w/o the path - same result
4. added a -c <ini-path> to the cmd line - same result
5. added/removed the open_basedir specification from the php.ini file
- same result
6. attempted to execute other PHP script files in the same directory
- same result
7. removed the quote characters around the file path for the script
file - same result
