Run php script using .bat every X time

Question

I have a program which is sending and receiving text messages and auto process the massage.

For other reason's I don't need to use JavaScript or HTML to refresh the page so I can send the message, so for the program to send back the message I need to use .bat or any window automated system

My question is how can I run the send.php file every 10 sec using .bat

Cool you mean I should put the script where the send file is? – FetchLazy Mar 22 '16 at 10:35
@FetchLazy - I think so.The answer has been edited.Now you need just to try it. – npocmaka Mar 22 '16 at 10:36
Is giving error, php is not recognised as internal or external command – FetchLazy Mar 22 '16 at 10:40
@FetchLazy - so `php.exe` is not in the `%path%` . check [this](http://php.net/manual/bg/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.addtopath) – npocmaka Mar 22 '16 at 10:44
In 'Environment Variables' PATHEXT I have added C:\PHP and restart the PC still the same problem I even change C:\PHP to .PHP only but no lucky – FetchLazy Mar 22 '16 at 11:19
@FetchLazy - `PATHEXT` is another kind of beer.You need to put it in `PATH` variable. – npocmaka Mar 22 '16 at 11:21
Can I see example if possible maybe I miss the totorial – FetchLazy Mar 22 '16 at 11:23
@FetchLazy - I've edited the script and it adds `C:\PHP` to the path. – npocmaka Mar 22 '16 at 11:24
@FetchLazy - may be this will be more clear -> https://john-dugan.com/add-php-windows-path-variable/ – npocmaka Mar 22 '16 at 11:25
