Windows batch file to run PHP file

I have a PHP script that retrieves information from a database server and stores it in a database.

I am using wamp server and mysql. Now, how can I do this launch periodically (every 1 hour) without user interaction? I was thinking about using a windows batch file. Is there another way?

How to execute a php file in a windows batch file?

Thanks in advance

To execute PHP from a batch file, follow these three simple steps:

Add PHP to the PATH variable .
Create a batch file that calls PHP with your file:
```
php path\to\file.php
```
and name your file whatever.bat.
Now it’s just a matter of setting up a task in the Windows Task Scheduler to periodically run a periodic file.
