I have a small php script that looks like this :

<?php
$argument1 = $argv[1];
echo "passed Value:".$argument1;
 //do something with passed value 
 //echo processed value
?>

I want to run it multiple times using cmd.

This is how I run it currently :

c:\php\php.exe MyScript.php 1

I want to run the above cmd line multiple times for different values ranging from 1 to 100.

Could anyone tell me how I can run it multiple times for different values passed to it?

Note:

I want to be able read the output of each php call and copy it

  • You could make a script implement a loop iterating over that number interval and calling your php script in each iteration. A possible language to implement such script would be php, actually, or any shell language installed... Commented Feb 6, 2016 at 16:51
  • "read the output of each php call and copy it" ? Read it on screen? Or into a variable? Copy to file? Commented Feb 6, 2016 at 16:57
  • Thanks for reply. Read it from cmd window and copy and paste it manually to text file or save the php output to a text file automatically Commented Feb 6, 2016 at 16:59

Reset to default

(FOR /L %x in (1,1,100) DO c:\php\php.exe MyScript.php %x)>output.txt 2>&1

>output.txt redirects STDOUT to a file. 2>&1 redirects STDERR to the same place.

(Note: this is a command line syntax. To use it in a batchfile, use %%x instead of %x)

I pasted this on cmd :(FOR /L %x (1,1,4) DO c:\php\php.exe MyScript.php %x)>output.txt 2>&1 and I get 1 was unexpected this time ! I wanted to test if it writes output to text file! does it create the text file or should i create it ?
> creates the file (and deletes it, if it already exists). I don't have php installed, so I can't test. What do you get, if you just use c:\php\php.exe MyScript.php 1?
If i run that line i get the value of php echo which is : passed Value:1 . i want those php echo results in text file instead of seeing them only on cmd window. so if i run it for small range 1-4 i should get passed Value:1,passed Value:2,passed Value:3,passed Value:4 on a text file as well
Shouldn't this be for /l %x IN (1,1,100)?
@user1788736 I'm guessing that's the reason for the 1 was unexpected error, it expected in first.

For doing it in the shell itself: 

FOR /L %parameter IN (start,step,end) DO command

For example:

FOR /L %x IN (1,1,100) DO c:\php\php.exe MyScript.php %x

For doing it in a .bat file: 

FOR /L %%parameter IN (start,step,end) DO command

For example:

FOR /L %%x IN (1,1,100) DO c:\php\php.exe MyScript.php %%x

However, I don't know if this will output the outcome.

Edit: changed %%x to %x and replaced 1 by %x -- thanks both of you :D

I suggest: FOR /L %%x IN (1,1,100) DO c:\php\php.exe Myscript %%x
%%x syntax is for use in batchfiles. If you use it on command line, use %x only.
@user1788736 Check the answer of Stephan
You also should edit your answer to have your second example use IN in the for command. This wouldn't work.
@anned20 geen probleem, was verder een goed antwoord. Ik zou er echter wel nog een note inzetten over %% voor batch, % voor cmd
