I have not been successful with running PHP under DOS (no windows). Is this possible? TIA, Shawn

For windows specific questions you are usually better off asking on the php-windows list. Yes this is possible. What is probably happening is your PHP script is executing (and ending) so quickly that you don't see the output. Try this: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\CMD.EXE /K "C:\PHP\php.exe -f yourfile.php" Or if you are lazy like me, try this: - Open Windows Explorer - Go to Tools -> Folder Options - Go to File Types - Find the entry for PHP and hit "Advanced" - Hit "New" - For the name enter something like CLI - For the application use C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\CMD.EXE /K "C:\PHP\php.exe -f %1" At this point you can decide to make this the default action for .php files. But at a minimum this should enable you to right-click and run a script from the command line. Merry Christmas (a month late even :) -- Teach a person to fish...
