A simple php file that's also a valid Windows batch; it will run itself, that is, whatever php is contained inside. This may be the simplest possible way to create command line php batches that look like real console commands.

run-my-php.bat

@rem <?php /*
@d:\yada\yada\bin\php "%~dpnx0" %* & exit /b & rem */print "\r        \r";
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//   Make sure you replace the "d:\yada\yada\bin\php" with your real php.exe path
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

print "This is a PHP script that looks like a batch.\n";
print "Anything that's below the line is normal PHP, you can write your script here.\n";
print "In fact, let's count to ten:\n";
for($c=0;$c++<10;) print "$c, ";
print "... see? your script is working!\n";
