Okey, I guess it's the paths that may cause your problem (guessing here as you
haven't told what kind of trouble you get).

When you do a cli execution of php, then all paths are counted from the place
where you are, not where the script is located.

Wehn running a batch file from the scheduler, I think the path will be wither
C:\ or C:\Windows (or where you now did install it).

We assume you include the file
C:\apache\localhost\htdocs\includes\myinclude.php in your yourscript.php with

require_once('includes\myinclude.php');


This makes php (cli executed) to try to include C:\includes\myinclude.php
and not the C:\apache\localhost\htdocs\includes\myinclude.php which you want
to include. The best option is to use absolute paths, then the script will
work both in the web environment and in the cli environment.
