I am using the latest version of XAMPP with XAMPP control panel v2.5 (9 May 2007). I want to access the command line to run php -q htdocs\path\to\file.php.
Problem: On my XAMPP control panel, I do not see the Shell button that will bring up the command line interface. How can I access the shell, or is there another way to run the PHP file?

What I am finding:

If you have
php.exe‘s directory in yourPATHenvironment variable, you can simply open a command line window (Start > Run > cmd), go in your PHP script directory and launch it withphp yourscript.php.
