command line script not running properly

[superjett]

I am running some .php pages from command line under Win2003 and having trouble with one that accesses a local file.

I have one that will send an e-mail just fine, but another in the same directory that imports data from a .txt in the same directory says the file doesn't exist when it in fact does.

Are they any considerations with file operations when running from a command line? Both work fine in a browser.

This works

c:\php\php.exe c:\internal\test\mail.php

This doesn't

c:\php\php.exe c:\internal\test\import.php

The only pertinent consideration I can think of is permissions. When run via a web browser, a PHP script uses the permissions of the user as which the web server runs. When run from a command-line, the script runs as the user who invokes the script.

That's a good point. I was logged in as administrator while testing, so that shouldn't be an issue but I'll double check.

Sometimes you just need to sleep, I was calling the wrong php.exe, not the one that Apache is using.
