Shortcut problem on Win XP

Shortcut problem on Win XP

[Jacob Waller]

Hi!
I wan't to be able to run a fontforge script (with the cygwin version of 
fontforge running on a Win XP) from a PHP script, and I'm not sure if it's 
the easiest way to go, but I thought of making a shortcut that the PHP 
script could run... but how do I do that?

The command i want to run looks like this:
fontforge -script fontscript.pe arg1 arg2 arg3

Could you please tell me how to do it, or at least point me to some 
information that shows me.
Best regards /Jacob

No need for a shortcut... Just use one of PHP's command execution
functions: http://php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php

Sorry, but I still don't get it... how do I make the script run in bash with 
a single command?
Could you post an example please?
Thanks in advance /Jacob
