Running from Command Line

[stevenmusumeche]

Hi,

I'm running Win XP with IIS, MySQL, and PHP. I'd like to run a PHP script from the command line (it adds many records to a database) so that it doesn't time out. I know there is a way to do this, but I don't know how to set up Windows to do it. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Steve

Kevin - thanks for your reply, but...

I've already done that. I get a CGI Timeout which is caused by IIS (I think). Either way, I'd really like to know how to run scripts from the command line. Any other thoughts?
