[Q] PHP-CLI on Windows / PHP-GTK favorites.

[Dan Tripp]

Howdy,

I PROMISE that I've Googled this... =)

I've written a PHP script to run from the command line. I can also run
it from a shortcut on my desktop, etc. and it works great.

However, I can't remember how to suppress the "DOS box/CLI
window/Command Interpreter/whatever *you* call it" that appears. I
recall that there's a switch that one can put in the shortcut/or in a
batch file to suppress the big black window...

Also, I've recently become interested in PHP-GTK. Does anyone have some
favorite sites they'd recommend? I'm looking for real recommendations ,
not "Google PHP-GTK" ;)

Thanks,

- Dan

This is how i did it on my sisters win98 box:
I have a batch file that contains the commands that need to be executed.
Then i created a shortcut to that batchfile on the destktop.
Then i right-clicked on that shortcut, editted the properties:
second tab(program) close window after completion.

Ah, looks like I forgot to state that I'm calling the script from cron
(yes, on a Windows machine).

If you are using the DOS command.com of the NT cmd.exe then
the switch you need to use is the /C option.

COMMAND [[drive:]path] [device] [/E:nnnnn] [/P] [/C string] [/MSG]
CMD [/X | /Y] [/A | /U] [/Q] [[/C | /K] string]

For more details see the help for either tools:

C:\>command.com /?
C:\>cmd.exe /?
