I am running Xampp on my Windows 7 machine and was wondering if and how I could run commands for xampp via a command line. commands like php phpfile.php

Any advice would be appreciated.

XAMPP does not have a pre build console to run php or mysql commands, so, you have to add to windows PATH environment variables, these 2: ;C:\xampp\mysql\bin;C:\xampp\php;

Then you should be able to execute php and mysql commands from the CMD.

UPDATE

I tested it, and it works.
