Kerroy Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hello Gurus, I`m trying to take a tcpserver.php file and turn it on as a active service into php. I tried to follow the instruction: 'using the CLI.exe, entering 'q- tcpserver.php' (but it just show the content of the file and nothing else), than using the CMD to enter: php q- tcpserver.php (but all I got is a msg saying that 'q-' is not a valid command (internal or external). I`m using windows xp pro, xampp as a server and php 5.3 installed fresh. Help me, how do I do it? :shrug: Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/189857-turning-php-into-a-service/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 You would need to execute the script in the background. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/189857-turning-php-into-a-service/#findComment-1002340 Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 On Linux you would likely want to write a startup script and place it within the /etc/init.d directory. php -q tcpserver.php & Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/189857-turning-php-into-a-service/#findComment-1002824 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuseiKaze Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I believe in linux you can use the chkconfig command to automatically start a service when it boots up.
