PHP Script

[sushants]

How do you execute a PHP script from the command line?

php.exe yourscript.php

Make sure your path includes the php bin folder.

Via windows?? or Linux??

He (she) said command line so I would assume he's talking about Windows...

@NardCake, but of course Linux too has commandline. Unless my brain is playing tricks on me!!

For Windows:
Open Cmd
set a path using:-
set PATH = %PATH%;c:\xampp\php //temporary setting a path
OR
Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables > look for and highlight the Path variable and click Edit.Append the PHP folder path //permanent setting a path

After setting a path run your code using:-
script-folder> php your-script-name.php

When mentioning linux, he would probably have named it "shell" instead.

Aaahh, ok .... point noted.

Or "Terminal" :)

There's some info on the php.net manual for this:

Yes the phrase command line is most often associated with the Windows CMD.
