or

c:\path\to\php.exe "c:\path\to\php_script.php" -var1=value1

Condition 1: The DOS window was NOT closed automatically when PHP script which implemented exit() and returned error.

@ECHO OFF
c:\path\to\php.exe "c:\path\to\php_script.php" -var1=value1
if NOT ["%errorlevel%"]==["0"] (

Condition 2: The DOS window was NOT closed automatically. It might annoying if there are too many DOS window.

@ECHO OFF
c:\path\to\php.exe "c:\path\to\php_script.php" -var1=value1
c:\path\to\php.exe "c:\path\to\php_script2.php" -var2=value2
PAUSE

c:\path\to\php.exe -f "c:\path\to\php_script.php"

Possible solutions: Check the php path if correct or not

dir c:\path\to\php.exe

Error message^[4]: Could not open input file

The code caused the error message:

c:\path\to\php.exe -f "c:\path\to\php_script.php" -var1=value1

Possible solutions: (1) add -- after php script (2) remove -f option from command

c:\path\to\php.exe -f "c:\path\to\php_script.php" -- -var1=value1

or

c:\path\to\php.exe "c:\path\to\php_script.php" -var1=value1

(3) Enclose the whole path with double quote symbols

Wrong: c:\path\to\php.exe c:\path\contain white space\php_script.php

Correct: c:\path\to\php.exe "c:\path\contain white space\php_script.php"
