windows - Run a php script as a background process in wamp server

Question

I have two php scripts that need to be run as continuous back ground processes in WAMP server.

Wamp server is installed in window 7 PC. These scripts are already reside in separate folder in the www root directory.

Apache Version :2.2.8
PHP Version :5.2.6

Since this is not a unix platform I can't use nohup php script.php > /dev/null & command to do this job. I'm looking for similar kind of command or method which works in wamp server windows platform.

Can anyone explain the steps I need to be taken to do this task?

Answer 1

1. create a batch file to run your php script using php executable "C:wampphpphp.exe C:wampwwwindex.php"
2. add this batch file in Scheduled Task in Windows control panel.
