How to run php script from CLI?

Question

I have the method stored in Z:\work\project\apps\controllers\_cron\tools\method

How can I call "method" using the command line?

If you mean method literally as in method of a class, you will need a script that calls this method and then run this script from CLI. — Fabian Schmengler

@fab: One could do -r "include(...); my_method();" or similar. — eggyal

You run the PHP executable with the location of the file as an argument (Windows example: php.exe path/to/method.php). The location of php.exe depends on where you installed it.
