You write your php script say mycron.php. Then in windows start/programs/accessories/system tools/schedule task, add one task
you may give direct command like

php.exe "c:\apache\htdocs\myweb\myfolder\mycron.php?mypara=1"

you may set time, give userid password.

now windows will take care of rest things

thank you for your reply. i have small doubt.
myweb\myfolder\ means? and one thing where i can give my site path ?

You might be storing your webpage folder on physcial location say

apache root
c:\program files\apache2\htdcos\

and you may be access it in browser
like
http://localhost/

for cron job you may place your file anywhere in your harddisc, you may also keep it in folder in apache root

sorry i did not understood. actually i have no folder(htdocs) in appache2.
actually my php file path is http://localhost/kalpana/email/mycron.php. now how to give there....direct link.

where is your kalpan/email folder on your hard disk, find it and post the path here.

[muralibobby2015]

it is in C:\wamp\www\kalpana\mycron.php

php.exe "c:\wamp\www\kalpana\mycron.php?mypara=1"

Just so this doesn't go on and on :icon_rolleyes:

search on your computer for php.exe
you browse to the path or your php.exe files path
then give other inputs
at the end open for advance settings

then "c:\some path\php.exe"
will come add your script name to the end like
"c:\some path\php.exe" "c:\wamp\www\mysite\mycron.php"

press apply

you donot have permissions to perform the requested task.

Did you do something like this?

Open Task Scheduler > Create New Task
