XAMPP on Windows 7?

[ask9]

Hi guys

 

I installed XAMPP on windows 7.

But I have a little problem, on DOS prompt.

When I execute c:\php while XAMPP is running it says,

 

"php is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batchfile"

 

By the way I already set the path variables into this below and restarted my computer.

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\AMSP;c:\xampp\php\php.exe;

 

Thanks in advanced.

Are you running an anti-virus or something? And have you tried uninstalling it and doing a fresh install?

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\AMSP;c:\xampp\php\php.exe;

 

It should be: c:\xampp\php not c:\xampp\php\php.exe That said you may want to use your own set of env vars, I do it like this:

 

I add a new env var: PHP=D:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.5

I then add that env var to my PATH env var: PATH=%PATH%;%PHP%

 

If I want to change to where the PHP env var points I just change it: PHP=D:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2 and I'm done. I don't have to go mess in some massive string. I have the same thing set-up for MySQL and other services like SVN and GIT.
