siwelis Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Maybe this page will help... The first page isn't in English, but the command list is http://forum.php.pl/lofiversion/index.php/t38940.html OR http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/PHP/commandline.html <b>And of course</b>... A WAMP subforum (child-forum) on phpfreaks. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/board,56.0.html Hope that helps!

trq Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Sounds like the php cli isn't installed with WAMP.... either that or its simply not in your PATH. Ive no idea how to set the PATH variable in windows, but the first thing I would do would be to look for the actual php.exe. Once (and if) you find it, open a terminal within that same directory and try... php.exe -h once again. If that works... you will need to google on how to add programs to the PATH variable in windows.

wildteen88 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 try this. Go to start > Run > type in cmd > Enter Now type the following command: cd C:\wamp\php\ Press enter. This will move the terminal from the default folder (C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\) to the where PHP is installed to. Which by default is C:/wamp/php when you install WAMP. The terminal should now read this: C:\wamp\php> Now try the PHP help command again: php -h Does that work?
