    What happens when you cd into /c/xampp/php - is the PHP binary there? Can you execute it? Commented Jan 6, 2012 at 16:58

In my case I can solved my problem in this way ...

Go to PHP directory in the XAMPP folder and run the code in this way with the XAMPP server:

$ Php /c/xampp/htdocs/cupon/bin/vendors install

As far as i was trying to execute MSVC compiler from within Java, i got the idea of all that Win7: the shell you are running something has different environment variables that you think you've set.

I recommend you to insall WAMP server - it is totally compatible with Windows while XAMPP seems to be a bit hard way to start with.

And one more hint: try running php / sh from the bin/ PHP directory.

If you think the X in XAMPP is for Mac OS X, then your are wrong. It stands for cross-platform because it is available for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X and Solaris :) (but still, that could be the reason that it does not integrate perfectly with Windows).
Thank for your consideration. It has worked after i restart my computer.

If you're using Windows and getting the "php: command not found" error, it means that the PHP executable is not in your system's PATH environment variable. Here are the steps to fix it:

  1. Find the location of your PHP installation. By default, PHP is installed in the "C:\php" directory. If you've installed PHP in a different location, note down that path.
  2. Add the PHP directory to the system's PATH environment variable:
    • Open the Start menu and search for "Environment Variables."
    • Click on "Edit the system environment variables."
    • Click on the "Environment Variables" button at the bottom of the window.
    • Under "System Variables," scroll down and find the "Path" variable. Click "Edit."
    • Click "New" and enter the path to your PHP directory (e.g., "C:\php").
    • Click "OK" to close all the windows.
  3. Close and reopen your terminal or command prompt to apply the changes.
  4. Verify that PHP is working by running the command "php -v" in your terminal or command prompt. You should see the version of PHP installed on your system.

If PHP is still not working after following these steps, you may need to reinstall PHP or check that the PHP executable file is in the correct directory.
