I'm kind of new to PHP and I was wondering if there is any way to run or setup a PHP script as a windows service?
Honestly, I don't know, but I suspect that the answer is no. Windows doesn't seem to like auto-running scripts (unless it's a worm 😃 ).
short answer, NO
Thats what I figured. Thanks anyway. I guess my only option now is either to design it on the linux platform(Which I have never done, but I am getting real anxious to do some experimenting) or design a vb app to call the php scripts as needed and set the vb app as a service. Thanks for the replies I have been trying to figure a way to do this for some time now.
Ryan, Why would you want to run a PHP script as a service? Is there something you want done on a time delay or something? Just Askin'...you got my curiosity stirred. 😃
Yes that is what he wants to do, but you can't run a php script like that, but what he said is what he is gonna have to do
create a vb app that will run a php script, then you can have that vb app run with the task scheduler
