Ah, I'm afraid I have no experience with PHP under Windows so I can't really
help you there sorry.
I'm not aware of any other way than environment variables to pass data to
PHP scripts executed from the command line so you may be out of luck if they
don't work under Windows. Perhaps someone else on this list will be able to
help...
