You can either associate all .php files (or some other extension) with php.exe (php5) or cli\php.exe (php4).. I would probably write a batch file to run the cli executable with some parameters to get the right php.ini and so on.. My biggest problem was to get the HTML to the browser (I wanted to be able to doubleclick a .php file and get the results shown in explorer).. I think I succeded somehow though.. -- // DvDmanDT MSN: dvdmandt¤hotmail.com Mail: dvdmandt¤telia.com "Danielb" <mailinglists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> skrev i meddelandet news:20040927085759.34881.qmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > How easy is it to set php up to run as a scripting language > on Windows?
