Hi,

I'm developing a complex site for a complex client (deaf type of client, he never listens to any advice) and I'm supposed to make some php pages auto-execute themselves in certain time and certain days.
My client has a Server with Windows 2000 and IIS and some component (I don´t remember the name) that makes PHP run in such a platform.
So I'm ready to use the Task Scheduler from Windows, instead of the Linux's Cron, but I can´t get the PHP page "running". By default, it opens itself in Dreamweaver. Of course I tried to asociate php extension with the IExplore, to make them "autobrowse".
But this is not working.
¿Any idea?
Thanks to everyone. You 're always helpfull and supportive.

As I'm not a native English speaker, I hope I'm clear enough to be understood. Please let me know if I'm not, this question is a tough one
 
How are you invoking the script?

On Win32, since it does not support the shebang notation, you should be able to tell Task Scheduler to run "c:/path/to/php c:/path/to/script.php"
