PHP not recognized on Windows

Question

Hello there,

I am trying to install symfony php framework.

I am working with windows.

My apache & php stuff is under C:\wamp

The framework is under C:\dev\

I am trying to do something like this in ms-dos:

c:\> php lib\vendor\symfony\data\bin\symfony -V

The php command isnt recognized. I suppose this is a pretty simple issue, but I have looked around without finding an answer anywhere.

Thanks, Marius

Answer 1

You need to add the php directory to the PATH variable.

Answer 2

Sounds like PHP isnt on your path. Try

c:\> path\to\php lib\vendor\....

Answer 3

Looks like directory in which php.exe is not in the PATH env variable. You have 2 options:

add that directory to PATH or

use complete path in your invocation as:

c:\> wamp\php\php.exe lib\vendor\symfony\data\bin\symfony -V
