Trouble using sandbox of symfony

Question

I'm new to symfony and I am trying to run a simple command on the command line but I get an error message.

When I try to execute the command:

d:\new_xam\xampp\htdocs\sf_sandbox_1_2\sf_sandbox>symfony propel:build-model "

I get the error:

'php.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

Can anybody help me?

Answer 1

This is a fairly common issue on Windows systems for people new to Symfony and/or PHP. It seems to be an issue with the PHP path. See here: http://forum.symfony-project.org/index.php/m/44895/?srch=php.exe+command#msg_44895

Answer 2

You should be able to prefix everything with "php"

So instead of "symfony propel:build-model" you can do "php symfony propel:build-model"

Answer 3

Can you try to use the real path for PHP?

i.e.,

"C:\Program Files\PHP\PHP.exe" symfony propel:build-model

At your Symfony directory.
