I am using xampp, so my php folder is in C:\xampp\php\ and I add in my PATH environment variables the C:\xampp\php\ but when I am running on cmd the php command I am getting the following message:
php is not recognized as an internal or external command.
Any idea what I am missing?
When adding an entry to environment variables make sure you leave no spaces between the semicolon and the new path.
I spent a couple of hours going over my steps until I realized that the only difference between other path entries and mine was a single empty space. So i changed it and tried again at the command window (no need to log off and back on) and it worked!
I realize this was asked a while ago but since I found myself looking for a solution i figured this might be helpful to other people too.
