how to run php script from batch file

Question

I have used this article php script which named upload_.php and i have successfully developed a windows service in C# which is running fine. Now in theory the service will run every hour and execute a batch file (task.bat). if i run the upload_php file directly it works fine now i think the problem is in task.bat file. here is my code

Task.bat Code

@echo off
cd\
set path=C:\xampp\php;
cd "C:\xampp\htdocs"
php import.php
exit

When service runs it execute task.bat file but php script dont execute. what is wrong with my code????
