I wonder if someone can help, I want to run a schedule task and I discovered that I can put a command line command in there, which is good.

What I need to happen is for a PHP file to run a bit like a cronjob.

The system I am using recommends I do the below but it’s not working, now I believe it’s due to the file being on E and not C, but I have no idea how to correct this, if anyone could give me some pointers that would be great.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.3\php.exe E:\pathtofile\tasks\frequently.php -f"

System info is win 7

    You’ve got your quote characters all fouled up, but there are separate entries for the various parts of the command in Task Scheduler.

    Try this:

    When creating the new task, set the Action: dropdown to Start a program.

    In the Program/Script: entry, use

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.3\php.exe"

    In the Add arguments (optional) entry use 

    "E:\pathtofile\tasks\frequently.php" -f
