It's quite easy. It involves a few things ... 1 - Add the location of php.exe to the path. This is normally done by going to the Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables. You can either add it just for you (User variables for xxxx) or globally (System variables). If there is no PATH, then add it. If there is a PATH then edit it and add the location at the end with a ; in front ... Existing Locations;C:\PHP5 (for example). 2 - Tell Windows that .php files are handled by PHP.EXE At the command line type ... ASSOC .php=phpfile FTYPE phpfile=C:\PHP5\PHP.EXE "%1" %* 3 - Allow PHP files to be auto-executable. Another environment variable to alter. This time it is PATHEXT. If you want .PHP to be handled before .BAT then place .PHP before the .BAT. If not put it at the end. That should do the trick. -- ----- Richard Quadling Zend Certified Engineer : http://zend.com/zce.php?c=ZEND002498&r=213474731 "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
