I was trying to send POST requests via Javascript but decided PHP would be more suitable. I was wondering if there is a way to send a request with PHP without using a web server. Thanks.
you can run php from command line

you can create a php script and easily run it like a batch using:
c:\php\cli\php.exe script.php %1 %2 %3 %4
