Question

Hi I just installed PHPStorm 5 for the first time to give it a try and I seem to be having a problem in running PHP applications.I have installed xampp and the path to the PHP interpretator has been set to:

D:\Program Files\xampp\php\php.exe

When I try to run I php file I get this error:

"D:\Program Files\xampp\php\php.exe" D:\Program Files\xampp\php\php.exe "D:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\PHPStorm\Project\index.php"

Could not open input file: D:\Program

Process finished with exit code 1

For some reason it seems that PHPStorm does not read the rest of the path and it stops at D:\Program.

How can I correct this problem besides changing the name of the folder because that would require me to reinstall almost everything on my computer again?

Look the full command-line:

"D:\Program Files\xampp\php\php.exe" D:\Program Files\xampp\php\php.exe ⤦ 
  "D:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\PHPStorm\Project\index.php"

You are using the command:

 "D:\Program Files\xampp\php\php.exe"

With the following three parameters:

1. D:\Program
2. Files\xampp\php\php.exe
3. “D:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\PHPStorm\Project\index.php”

You php.exe then tries to open the “file”

D:\Program 

and naturally fails. Instead your command should be:

"D:\Program Files\xampp\php\php.exe" c:\path\to\your\script.php

Obviously you did enter the text D:\Program Files\xampp\php\php.exe into too many textboxes as it belongs to. If you’re new to PHPStorm I suggest you read the online manual:

• Interpreters – PhpStorm 5.0 Web Help
• Run/Debug Configuration: PHP Script – PhpStorm 5.0 Web Help

It’s also available by pressing F1 when you’re in a dialog.
