Question

i want to run a simple line in my commandline in windows to run a script that reads ip addresses and i want it to out output in a text file.

This is the script

<?php
     $lines = file('ipaddresses.ini', FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES); 
     foreach($lines as $line){
         echo $line;  

         $host   = $line;
         echo("Ping Output:");
         system("ping -n 4 $host",$result);

         if ($result == 0)
             echo "Ping successful!";
         else
             echo "Ping unsuccessful!";

     } 
 ?> 

And this is the command line

C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.13>php.exe -f "C:\wamp\www\hello.php"

Answer 1

Saving the output to a file can be done through the command line. Append > [name of file] to the command and it will then store all of the output from the script into the specified file name.

C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.13>php.exe -f "C:\wamp\www\hello.php" > C:\output.txt
