How to access PHP with the Command Line on Windows?
I am trying to learn how to access PHP scripts from the command line (CLI)
Below is an image from my attempt, please help. I am running Windows 7
Solution
You need to add your PHP installation directory to the %PATH% environment variable, or work from the PHP installation directory.
To add it to path (The best approach - Edited for Windows 7):
- Right-click on a
My Computericon - Click
Properties - Click
Advanced system settingsfrom the left nav - Click
Advancedtab - Click
Environment Variablesbutton - In the
System Variablessection, selectPath(case-insensitive) and clickEditbutton - Add a semi-colon (
;) to the end of the string, then add the full file system path of your PHP installation (e.g.C:\Program Files\PHP) - Keep clicking
OKetc until all dialog boxes have disappeared - Close your command prompt and open it again
- Sorted
Alternatively, you can run cd <PHP installation path> before you try and run you command, or call your script like <FULL file system path of php.exe> <path to script>
