How to execute a PHP file outside of Apache?

[ToXiCaTioN.d]

I know that this is possible because in Linux you use:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/php -q .....

So, how do I execute a PHP file outside of Apache? I am making a calendar script with scheduled tasks. So, is there anyway of doing this with Windows? Also, I have tried this:

Code: Select all

CD C:\xampp\PHP\
php -q C:\xampp\htdocs\file.php

Thanks and kind regards.
