Run exe file with parameters in a batch file

Question

Please have a look at my batch file. ``` echo off start "c:\program files\php\php.exe D:\mydocs\mp\index.php param1 param2" ``` but it isn't working. Any ideas how do I get it working?

Accepted Answer

This should work:

```
start "" "c:\program files\php\php.exe" D:\mydocs\mp\index.php param1 param2
```

The `start` command interprets the first argument as a window title if it contains spaces. In this case, that means `start` considers your whole argument a title and sees no command. Passing `""` (an empty title) as the first argument to `start` fixes the problem.
