I am trying to figure out how this all works on Win XP... When I call php.exe or php-win.exe from another script (AutoHotKey in my case), do both of these programs use stdout and stderr? I know php.exe has a console window and php-win.exe does not, but just need to know how they output the results. Thanks

STDOUT is the normal output for php.exe. To write to the STDERR, you can ... php -r "file_put_contents('php://STDERR', 'This is an error');"> PHP_STDOUT.txt 2> PHP_STDERR.txt

2011-06-20  17:26                 0 PHP_STDOUT.txt

OOI. If you want to use PHP scripts to act as a filter. E.g. command | php script, then read http://docs.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.commandline.php What about php-win.exe? Does it write to STDOUT as well even though there is no console window?

Thanks
