I just installed cygwin but can’t make php command execute properly. I got the following error when executing php command only.

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) ‘msql.dll’
in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘D:\PHP\ext\msql.so’ -
The specified module could not be found.
in Unknown on line 0

I already have PHP, Mysql and Apache installed on my machine and it’s all working properly. I have scripts that need to be executed that is why really need this.

Could somebody help me on this? Please…

If you like you could do so using your local webserver, but I would prefer a direct link to the filesystem (/path/to/file instead of http://server.fqdn/path/to/file) @Liao Gangzheng: I guess what you’ve accomplished there is some sort of cronjob, triggered by a visitor requesting some php script on your webserver?

What are you trying to accomplish ? @Liao:

PHP, Perl, shell scripting, they all have a place, if I want to automate a bunch of system tasks then I use a shell script, if I want to do some db work then probably Perl. Its important to use a tool because it is the right tool, not because you don't know how to use anything else. Just my opinion. It really depends on what you are trying to do.

I also use it to generate CSV from mysql. I like Perl, but it's a matter of preference, not a crutch. I invoke the Salesforce API with CLI PHP to do various testing and administration tasks.
