  • Have tried anything so far? Can you post your code? – Athafoud Nov 11 '16 at 10:48
  • Well. You need to describe where. If you have a WAMP, it's simple. Store the batch output in a file or directly into a SQL database. Read it out with PHP. – Matt Backslash Nov 11 '16 at 10:48

If you need the output from the .bat file to display in PHP, you can either run the file from PHP (not recommended) - this will only work on a computer running some version of DOS/Windows, so also not recommended, or you can run the file via the built-in scheduler in your operating system, outputting the values to a text-file or similar, and then read that file via PHP (a much safer option).

Although I'm guessing you're trying to do something you shouldn't be doing, so a bit more information might be needed.
