Answer 1

I think, you must execute your PHP script via URL. you can write batch script for execute URL. Why you don't write backend script in other language such as batch script, vbscript or etc.

Answer 2

Sounds like you don't have PHP files associated with the EXE.

You can do this My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > File Types. If nothing else, this can also help you verify your settings for them.

Otherwise, you can specify "C:\path\to\php.exe [file]" in the task.

Answer 3

The Run command should be

C:\Path\to\php.exe -f "C:\Path\to\file.php"

From the command line help of php.exe:

-f         Parse and execute <file>.
