Answer 1

You just need to find out where is your PHP folder.

• If you are using XAMPP or WAMP then you will see a php folder.
• You just need to go into the php folder using your cmd using command

cd \xampp\php (FOR XAMPP)

cd \wamp\php (FOR WAMP)

• And then just type in this command

php -v

• Then you will see something like
