WampServer

Hi,

I'm using WAMP: PHP (5.3.0) Apache (2) and it seems to be working ok. I'm trying to run PHP code from the command line on Windows XP in order to check it. It runs fine on the virtual server with Firefox. I've checked the PHP online manuals and other sources but can't seem to find any two that agree on how to achive this. One set of instructions said that I should copy 5 files to the Windows System 32 directory:

php5ts.dll
php5apache2.dll
php_mysql.dll
libmsql.dll
php.ini-dist.dll

Problem is that the last two dll files: libmsql.dll and php.ini-dist.dll don't seem to exist anywhere on the www.php.net/downloads site, or anywhere else. Anyone got any ideas as to how I can achieve this?

Regards,

Brendan

php has a command line.. you would need to add an enviormental variable to get it to work in cmd


but other than that. just drop a php file onto the php-win.exe file

ul need the php5ts.dll only

if you dont want to add an enviormental variable, just simply setup your php files to be able to run as commands which is much better since you can run your php files in any os w/o messing up w/ enviormental variable

Thanks Steven and Yfastud,

For getting back to me so quickly. I'll give it a try and see what happens

Thanks for that. I got the PHP command line up and running. It's pointing to C:\php\php.exe. Do I have to alter an element my php.ini file now??? I'm asking due to the fact that I put in the code:

$ php -v

In order to see if it was connected properly but had no joy.

Do wamp install PHP in c:\php?

I can't get the path variable to work on my machne. All I get is this error:
'php' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.


I am running the latest version of wamp with php 5.3.

Thanks.

you can try this for eg if php is in c:/php run the following command

 cd c:\php 

php -v

and it will out put some php info

Hi. This is what the output was when I did that:

C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0>php -v

Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 Zend Technologies

What should I add to my path to make it work?

Thanks! I got it to work. I forgot to put the ending slash on the path and now it working.
