Answer 1

When you installed PHPUnit, it made a phpunit.bat file in your PHP installation directory. For example, mine was at C:\PHP\phpunit.bat.

Open up that file in Notepad. At the bottom you'll see a line that looks something like

set PHPBIN=".\php.exe"

Edit that to a correct absolute path, such as

set PHPBIN="C:\php.exe"

If the path has a space in it, you need to escape it with double quotes, such as

set PHPBIN="""C:\some long path\php.exe"""

Hope that helps.

This is a bug in PHPUnit. It was fixed in version 3.4.

Just upgrade to the newest version:

pear channel-update
pear install phpunit/PHPunit

and it should work correctly.
