Troubleshootings
Error: The system cannot find the path specified.
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: Could not open input file
Error message[6]: 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
