PHP works great from the command line. I have used it before in this
manner. And Yes, the only problem is that you have to have it installed,
well not actually installed, you have to have the windows binaries and
the libraries on the system, you would need a registry entry to allow
any file with the .php extension to run automatically, and the php.ini
file in the system32 directory. otherwise you can have all the binaries
and libraries in one folder for example "c:\php" without the registry
entry you just have to run for the program "c:\php\php.exe
path\script.php" to run the script.
