A batch file is just a master file of lists of
commands and/or programs that need to be executed. Of
course this only pertains to MS-DOS users and Windows
users. To create a Batch file, all you need is Notepad.
You can even use Adobe Dreamweaver, just as long as
you do not add any extra markups.
So in Notepad or Dreamweaver open a new document and
copy paste this coding to it.
- c:/web/php/php.exe
-q
c:/web/Apache2/htdocs/socketTut.php
Save this file as socketRun.bat.
Notice the .bat at the end?
Well that will signify that this file we wrote is a
batch file. When it runs, it will automatically start up
in a new Command Prompt window. Now let's take a glimpse
at it.
The first part just calls on the php.exe
to execute and run our socket shell script. Notice the
-q again? Well it also will suppress
any HTTP headers.
The next part is our location to the php shell script
that php.exe needs. As you can tell you
will need to alter this to your needs. Where ever your
php.exe and socketShell.php
is, you need to supply that into the batch file. Once
that is complete it is time to check out your chat room.
Open up your command prompt (start -> run -> cmd.exe).
Type in the exact location to your socketRun.bat
and hit enter. Yours should look something like this:
