Command php not found in Windows

Question

I have installed xampp server in windows 7. I have already checked Browser its working.But I am trying to run the php -v command prompt. I receive the following error message.

Answer 1

Add the php folder to your path and restart cmd.

Use this command from the command line (use the path to the php.exe, it is usually under c:\xampp\php):

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\xampp\php

Answer 2

This pops up if Windows doesnt know about php. To solve this you have to add the full path to the php.exe to your PATH-variable in windows.

After you restart the console php should be available.

Answer 3

Add the full path to find the folder, for example: c:\xampp\php\php.exe -v or c:\xampp\php\php.exe -version
