execute a remote server php script from a windows batch file on command line

Question

I have a php script on my hosted linux/unix server.I want to create a CLI for windows/linux both for executing my PHP script. for linux i can create a shell script that can execute my php script by using methods like url,curl). But how can i execute php script from a windows CLI (batch file). If any good suggestion for Linux CLI would be appreciated.

Thanks, Pankaj

Answer 1

You can download sh.exe (Bash) for win32 which will let you run the same script on both platforms. On windows then you only need to do sh.exe script.sh

I use this method all the time because BAT programming is such a futile and terrible exercise in time-wasting.

EDIT: Oh wait, I thought you were trying to run a PHP script on a website (ie, via wget). I'm not sure what the implications of running PHP as CLI on win32 are.
