Question

I am running this command

C:\php\php.exe -f C:\leads\ftp.php

with a bat file with a windows scheduled task and all works well. The php file goes to the ftp and grabs a file to store locally. The problem is the location that the file is being stored locally is not in the C:\leads\ directory. It is being saved in the C:\Windows\sysWOW64\

If I click on the bat file it stores the file in the C:\leads\ directory as expected

any ideas on how to remedy this

Answer 1

Add:

cd /d C:\leads\

before your php.exe command. This is happening because the working directory is set differently whether your batch file is running from a scheduled task or from you double clicking on it. This way you can force the PHP working directory to be what you want.
