Running a php script with a .bat file

Question

I need to run a php script at midnight every night on my server. On a linux system I\'d set up a cron job, but I\'m stuck with a windows system.

I know I have to set

Answer 1

Can I suggest a small change.

echo off
REM This adds the folder containing php.exe to the path
PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.3

REM Change Directory to the folder containing your script
CD C:\inetpub\wwwroot\sitename\crons

REM Execute
php reminder-email.php

PS. Putting Apache,MySQL or PHP in Program Files is a bad idea. Dont use windows folders with spaces in their names.
