It has been quite a while since I've had to do a lot with the Windows 
command line, and now I find I can't remember certain things, such as...

I need to create a .bat file that contains a command to invoke a php 
script multiple times, with the "stdin" for each invocation of the 
php script immediately following the command invoking the script (ah, 
how easy it was to do such things in MPE).  Below is an example of 
what the .bat file structure would be:

c:\php\php.exe [php_script_name] [?_something_to_tell_DOS_stdin_data_follows]
[line_0_of_data]
[line_1_of_data]
[line_2_of_data]
...
[line_n_of_data]
[eod_mark-though_it_was_ctrl_z]
c:\php\php.exe [php_script_name] [?_something_to_tell_DOS_stdin_data_follows]
[line_0_of_data]
[line_1_of_data]
[line_2_of_data]
...
[line_n_of_data]
[eod_mark-though_it_was_ctrl_z]
c:\php\php.exe [php_script_name] [?_something_to_tell_DOS_stdin_data_follows]
[line_0_of_data]
[line_1_of_data]
[line_2_of_data]
...
[line_n_of_data]
[eod_mark-though_it_was_ctrl_z]

etc. - you get the point.
I tried using "<" for the 
"[?_something_to_tell_DOS_stdin_data_follows]" but that didn't 
work.  I can get it to work if the data is in an external file, but 
that won't work for this application.  I thought CTRL-Z was the "end 
of data" but that just seems to cause the command window to hang.

I guess I'm Googling the wrong keywords as I'm not finding what I'm 
looking for.

Any suggestions or assistance are greatly appreciated!
