PHP-WIN

[Oli Howson]

Ok, I'm using php-win, and have the following file, c:\mail.php

<?
mail('email@mya ddress.com','a test','a php-win cli test');
?>

When I go to start|run or cmd and type...

php-win -f c:/mail.php

it just sends the mail, no command window popping up or anything.

I have another file, c:\test.php...

<?
exec('start php-win -f C:/mail.php');
?>

Now when I got to start|run or cmd and type...

php-win -f c:/test.php

it flashes up (very fast) a command window, obviously thats running the mail
script. I want this to GO AWAY as it's doing my head in! Anyone know how? I
thought php-win wasn't supposed to show any cmd windows? Please help, I'm
desperate!

Cheers

Oli/M_O

Try typing "help start" instead

It is not PHP that is opening the new command window. It is the start
command. You have to tell start to NOT open the command window. "help
start" will tell you how to do that :)

in the php-gtk package, there si a programe called php-win.exe. it is
the same as the php.exe only without the command window.

Re: PHP-WIN

(1) I've tried without using START, I just exec'd php-win.exe without the
start and it did the same thing.

(2) If you look through the code I posted in my original email, I was using
php-win.exe, with php5 it comes as standard alongside php.exe

Anyone else got an idea???
