How do I run a PHP script using windows schedule task?

Question

I have installed localhost/server in my machine and I need to run a php script using windows schedule task. how do I add path in \"Actions\" tab in schedule task / cofigure

Answer 1

At least I tried out some suggestions but it doesn't work so I tried this.

Use a bat file and schedule to execute that bat file.

For example in the bat file executephp.bat, write this

c:\xampp\php\php.exe -f c:\xampp\htdocs\do_something.php

save that bat file that contains that line.

Go to windows scheduler and create a new task and in action tab, browse to point that executephp.bat and for start in -> direct to the directory u have that executephp.bat.

For example if u save the file under C:\xampp\htdocs put that C:\xampp\htdocs in the start in.

Remember to invoke the script even when the user is not logged on.

Everything is set and it will execute without problem.
