I’m not sure why I’m still getting the PHP is not recognized as an internal or external command error. Here’s my environment variables:

C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared;C:\Program Files (x86)\EgisTec MyWinLocker\x64;C:\Program Files (x86)\EgisTec MyWinLocker\;C:\Program Files\Intel\WiFi\bin\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\WirelessCommon\;C:\strawberry\c\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\bin; C:\PHP\;

My PHP.exe is located in “C:\PHP\”, so I’m not sure why I’m getting this error. :/

    I don’t have a Windows machine to verify this, but I am pretty sure you cannot have spaces after the ; delimiters. Remove the space before C:\PHP, and it may be harmless, but also remove the trailing \.

    C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\;...snip...;C:\strawberry\perl\bin;C:\PHP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------^^^^^

    Depending on how you are launching PHP, you might need to log out of Windows and back in to propagate the new %PATH% through your environment, though I doubt that’s necessary.
