I got the following error when I run a command with php
C:\xampp\htdocs>php
'php' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I don't get any error when I run the command with php
in following path:
C:\xampp\php>php //do not got error here
Why I get this error?
'php' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Add C:\xampp\php
to your PATH
Environment Variable.
Then Close your Command Prompt And Restart Again.
It's very important because if you didn't restart you command prompt then changes will not be reflected.
You need to Go to My Computer->properties -> Advanced system setting
Now click on Environment Variables
Add ;C:\xampp\php in path variable value
Now restart command prompt DONE!
Note: Make sure you run CMD via run as administrator
Set "C:\xampp\php"
in your PATH Environment Variable. Then restart CMD prompt.
You just need to a add the path of your PHP
file. In case you are using wamp
or have not installed it on the C drive.
Is your path correctly configured?
In Windows, you can do that as described here:

You need to add C:\xampp\php
to your PATH Environment Variable
, Only after then you would be able to execute php
command line from outside php_home
.
I also got the following error when I run a command with PHP
, I did the solution like that:
- From the desktop, right-click the Computer icon.
- Choose Properties from the context menu.
- Click the Advanced system settings link.
- Click Environment Variables. In the section System Variables, find the PATH environment variable and select it. Click Edit. If the PATH environment variable does not exist, click New.
- In the Edit System Variable window, Add
C:\xampp\php
to your PATH Environment Variable.
Very important note: restart command prompt
