1. RE: PHP fun
Hi Mr Trick,
I use PHP as a HTML pre-processor for my web site. (not dynamic just
to create static pages that I upload).
PHP is very easy to learn. Based very much on C syntax.
Web Servers are a widely available and mostly free. Most can be
installed and setup to use PHP in a very small amount of time.
I'd suggest if your using PHP for dynamic web page creation that you
install a web server on your development PC. Probably best to choose
whatever the live web server is. If that's not possible there are
many to choose from and very easy to use.
How are you running the bacth file? From the console or from Windows
by double clicking on it?
What window is staying open the DOS command prompt or a web browser?
good luck,
Ray Smith

Ok, I have no idea.
The finished script will be running on our intranet, and interfacing with an
Oracle (or something similar) backend.
Right now I'm still at RTFM level, so I have very little idea about how to
configure everything. The batch file lets me view my php files, so atm that
is fine, cause I'm only learning. However, I may need something like what
you have described in the near future.

When I run the batch file the IE window opens. The batch window doesn't
close until the IE window closes, or I do it manually.
So, the batch file is dependent on IE... I need to change this line in the
batch file:
#
"c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" c:\temp\phptmp.htm
#
into something that opens IE *independently*, and allows the batch file to
finish.
No idea...

One thing to try in your batch file is:
"start c:\temp\phptmp.htm"
start "any_known_file_type.ext" will start the default
application based on the extension type.

That takes a little longer for some reason, but it works, thank you.
A new problem has arisen now... that although I can view php files properly
by double-clicking on them, I can't open them through IE.
This is a problem because most html forms use php for processing. With the
current solution, it doesn't use the batch file for processing, but tries to
open it as html... which doesn't work!

PHP is a server side scripting language. When you open HTML files
by double clicking on them on they loaded straight into IE
(ie. there is no server processing).
As far as I know you need a web server installed to see the results
of php scripts in a web browser.
There might be ways around this but I don't know. Maybe some PHP
IDE's allow the processing of PHP scripts inside html files??
You should probably also do some reading about PHP and web
development, I'm sure they are heaps of resources available on the net.
You should probably also ask your questions on a PHP list ...
I'm happy to answer your questions ... but this isn't a PHP list!).
