Answer 1

Add C:\\xampp\\php to your PATH environment variable.( My Computer->properties -> Advanced system setting-> Environment Variables->edit path )

Then close your command prompt and restart again.

Note: It's very important to close your command prompt and restart again otherwise changes will not be reflected.

Answer 2

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

Answer 4

Set "C:\\xampp\\php" in your PATH Environment Variable . Then restart CMD prompt.

Answer 6

您需要将C:\\xampp\\php添加到您的PATH Environment Variable ，只有在此之后您才能从php_home外部执行php命令行。

I also got the following error when I run a command with PHP , I did the solution like that:

1. From the desktop, right-click the Computer icon.
2. Choose Properties from the context menu.
3. Click the Advanced system settings link.
4. 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.

Extra info:

If you are using PhpStorm as IDE, after updating the path variable you need to restart PhpStorm so that it takes effect.

Restarting terminal window was not enough for me. (PhpStorm 2020.3.2)

Answer 11

I faced this issue even with a properly set up windows environment variable. I just needed to close and restart the terminal to solve it.

Answer 12

The previous answers about adding the path to the Env Var are correct, but my case was different.

I needed to downgrade my PHP version to 5 in order to update an old application.

I was using the following combination: MAMP, PhpStorm, the Environment Variable Path was set properly to the MAMP PHP version that I was using

• The error was showing in PhpStorm's Terminal
• The error was due to the php.ini file using # in the comment
• After I replaced "#" by ";"I restarted PhpStorm and recognized the PHP version and the command "php -v" worked again
