(wamp on Windows)
I've composer.phar and composer.bat in c:\bin (Path variable is OK)
letting composer command from cmd window I get: "php is not an internal or external command"
after setting the PHP directory in the PATH, PHP server will have complained: it will work improperly by reason of PATH variable.
How can I reach #php command from anywhere without setting PHP directory in the PATH
(I've the save problem width PHPUnit installing)
Thx a lot

I am trying to install Symfony 2.7 as instructed by the manual.
When I open CMD (I am running it as an administrator in Windows 8.1) the default path is C:\Windows\System32. I have tried running the command specified in the documentation there (c:\> php -r "readfile('http://symfony.com/installer');" > symfony), as well as in the root directory, both give me the same error.
I am using WAMP, the appache rewrite module and php_xls are activated.
I've also added the following to the PATH in the environment variables: ;C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.5;C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.0.45\bin
After having added it, I rebooted the computer and still nothing worked. How can I install Symfony 2.7?
Here is the solution to your original problem:
You just have to make sure that the path to your php executable is correct when you add it to your PATH environment variable. This path is probably related to the version of PHP you have. You should be able to find this path by navigating inside your wamp installation and looking for the php folder and binary. In your case, this would be C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12
However, for the new problem you have...
However, I get the error The directory name is invalid when I execute
the following command: c:>projects\ php symfony
You just have to make sure that your PATH is updated with the correct path for your php, and then do this from C:>
php projects\symfony
Note that php is the executable and projects\symfony is the path to the symfony file.
I get the error in the title when I try to run composer require "illuminate/html":"5.0.*" in my terminal (Git Bash) under my current project file path. Even if I type something like composer -v I get the same error.
I've even tried reinstalling composer and it installs fine but the commands still don't work.
In the PhpSTORM terminal, running the same commands gives this error: 'composer' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or bath file.
I have VirtualBox, Vagrant and Laravel all installed correctly with Composer (I know it's all good because my code is great and works fine when trying it live and what not)... unless I'm missing something here (Laravel noob).
Why is this happening?
If you installed composer outside your virtual box (in your host system) and you want to use it without ssh into your vagrant box:
Make sure you add composers directory to your PATH. Then close your current terminal and reload a new one. Closing the terminal is necessary to reload the PATH.
The error sh.exe": composer: command not found indicates that the composer is not found in the current folder or the PATH.
Found out why I was getting the error: forgot to ssh.
The fix was this: vagrant ssh in the terminal.
I'm running php composer.phar install from git bash CLI and it shows sh:php: Command not found.
Though I have set environment variable path to my wamp/bin/php/php5.4.16/
You are required to put the directory that has php.exe in your WAMP installation into environment variable PATH. It is generally like C:\wamp\bin\php.
Where \php\ is the directory containing php.exe.
Set php env. variable as mentioned here. (you can test it easily using this command: php -r "echo 1;" or php -v)
restart git shell
if composer.phar does not exists, run this (more info):
php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
run php composer.phar install finally
Run php without git shell:
Locate C:\wamp\bin\php
Hold SHIFT and click with right mousebutton on folder phpX.Y.ZZ
Select Open command prompt window here
run any php command like php parameters
Whether you are using gitbash or cmd you should run it as an administrator. Navigate to your project then type the command "composer install" it will work. Mine worked just fine.
I'm getting an error saying:
failed to clone https://github.com/php-fig/log.git, git was not found, check that it is installed and in your PATH env.
'git' is not recognized as and internal or external command, operable program or batch file
when I try and run composer create-project laravel/laravel learning-laravel.
I installed the git GUI which also comes with a command line shell, but I don't know why its not recognising the command (I'm issuing the create-project command in the normal windows command line prompt).
I also tried running the command from the git shell, which worked, but when I tried php artisan serve it gave me an error saying CLI has stopped working.
Does anyone know how to fix the git error? I'd rather use the windows command shell instead of the git one as it can then go into my wamp/www file
You need to add the directory you installed git to to your PATH environment variable.
Right click on Computer.
Click Advanced System Settings
Click Environment Variables inside the Advanced Menu
Under System Variables, scroll to PATH
Add ;"C:\path\to\git\bin";"C:\path\to\git\cmd"
Test the git command in the command prompt to see if it worked. Git is usually located in Program Files or Program Files(x86).
There is an easier (but temporal) way to add a path variable in Windows.
Paste this in your command prompt:
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Git\bin
This will work for the rest of the command prompt session. Don't forget installing Git before this.
You'll need to add git to your system PATH if you want to use it in regular command prompt.
Here's a guide on modifying your system path in Windows:
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm
you need to uninstall git and reinstall ( or update ) in the options you need to change from git bash only to allow git to be added to command line as well, also since it then adds it to your path you may or may not need to restart your computer
I was having some issues using git on Windows. I found this information only and it worked for me.

When I run phpunit on the command line I get 'phpunit' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
php has been added to my system path.
My php.ini includes include_path=".;C:\PHP\pear".
How can I get the command phpunit to be recognized by the command line?
Make sure your PEAR installation is installed properly and available in the Windows environment. Each PEAR command has a corresponding .bat file in the PEAR installation directory, e.g. phpunit.bat. Because these are the files that get called when doing e.g. phpunit on the command line, this directory has to be on your PATH as well. Having the PEAR directory on the include_path only is not enough.
If you are sure PEAR is installed properly. reinstall PHPUnit with
pear install --alldeps --force phpunit/PHPUnit
You need to add php path (which is C:\PHP) to the PATH variable.
On Windows 7 it will be:
1) My Computer -> Right click -> Properties
2) Advanced System Settings
3) Click "Environment variables" button
4) Find "Path" entry in "System variable" section and:
a) add to the end ";C:\PHP" (without quotes)
or
b) add to the front "C:\PHP;"
EDIT:
php has been added to my system path.
You do need to open a new windows command prompt (no need for logoff, restart...)
