Php – Run a php script as a background process in wamp server

background-processPHPwampwindows

I have two php scripts that need to be run as continuous back ground processes in WAMP server.

Wamp server is installed in window 7 PC. These scripts are already reside in separate folder in the www root directory.

Apache Version :2.2.8
PHP Version :5.2.6

Since this is not a unix platform I can't use
nohup php script.php > /dev/null & command to do this job. I'm looking for similar kind of command or method which works in wamp server windows platform.

Can anyone explain the steps I need to be taken to do this task?

create a batch file to run your php script using php executable "C:\wamp\php\php.exe C:\wamp\www\index.php"
add this batch file in Scheduled Task in Windows control panel.

Normally the parameter -d is interpreted as form-encoded. You need the -H parameter:

curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"screencast":{"subject":"tools"}}' \

You need to save the PID of the background process at the time you start it:

foo &
FOO_PID=$!
# do other stuff
kill $FOO_PID

You cannot use job control, since that is an interactive feature and tied to a controlling terminal. A script will not necessarily have a terminal attached at all so job control will not necessarily be available.
