Answer 1

Find the path for your php.exe, and run it like this (make sure your run CMD.exe as an administrator):

C:\PHP5\php.exe -f "C:\PHP Scripts\script.php"

Refer to manual: http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.commandline.php

Answer 2

path/to/php.exe path/to/script.php

Example if you're using xampp:

C:\xampp\php\php.exe C:\scripts\script.php
