Command line PHP under windows - update - console window wait to close switch
This is a follow-up to this: [Command line PHP and Javascript under windows - simple CLI setup](http://spenibus.net/b/p/k/Command-line-PHP-and-Javascript-under-windows-simple-CLI-setup)
Even though this was by design, I was getting a bit annoyed by the non-closing console window. This might be applicable to the javascript version but since I don't use it as much I haven't bothered.
**run.bat**
````
@call "F:/progs/WAMP/php/php.exe" -f %*
:: keep console open if exit code is not 1
@if %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 1 (
@echo.
@set /p="Hit ENTER to exit"
)
````
This will remain open:
````
<?php
echo "hello there";
?>
````
This will close immediately:
````
<?php
echo "hello there";
exit(1);
?>
````
Alternative, if you don't want to use the exit code

**run.bat**
````
@call "F:/progs/WAMP/php/php.exe" -f %*
````
This will remain open:
````
<?php
echo "hello there";
echo "\npress enter to exit";
fgets(STDIN);
?>
