Re: command line are -c doesn't work on win2k?

Jeff, If mail is working, then agree with your point about config. Appendix B. Using PHP from the command line Usage: php [-q] [-h] [-s [-v] [-i] [-f <file>] | {<file> [args...]} -q Quiet-mode. Suppress HTTP Header output. -C Do not chdir to the script's directory -c <path> Look for php.ini file in this directory PHP is case sensitive (whereas Windows is not). Where is the .ini file? (not the PHP.exe file) Does this help? =dn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff D.
