Good Day I have been struggling lately to get the right path to execute php scripts on the command line.

My php folder is found in c:>xampp\php

which I specied as the path above by accesseing the environmet variables directory.

I was wondering whether I am doing anything wrong because if I type a comand
to create a new web application in Yii I got an error that said php.exe is not a an
a win32 applicatio.

I have tried every example it is on the internetr but somehow they do not seem to wotk

Your reply will be highly appreciated.

Regards
Your liY

It is normally found here:
C:\xampp\php\php.exe

See the --help output or the man page. In any case, the -t <rootdir> option on the command line will do the trick. IE, php -t xampp\php for Windows, or php -t xampp/php for Linux/Unix. I suspect that the latter will work for both, though the former (backslash) will ONLY work for Windows. Since I ONLY use php on Linux, I am just guessing, but I do have quite a bit of experience munging with php's source code (to fix some serious bugs with their http support). My current set of projects are php/javascript/css intensive, including writing (done) a cell phone web browser emulator.
