Wamp PHP CLI

Question

I am running wampserver and cannot use php files in the CLI. Presumably there are two php operating modes, CGI and CLI. I cannot figure out how to enable the CLI, since I do not see php-cli.exe in / wamp / bin / php / php 5.2.6. When I try to execute php scripts, they will not be executed. Does anyone know how to get the CLI to run php scripts using wampserver 2?

Im basically trying to call a bake.php script to open the console for the cake.

Answer 1

You must have the php.exe file, which is a version of the CLI. So you can do

php.exe -f phpfile.php 

to run the file using the command line.

Answer 2

If you have a problem with environment variables, follow these steps:

• Go to My Computers
• Click the Advanced tab
• Select environment variables
• Change "path" on system variables with paths to php and console folder pie

Example: C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.9-2;C:\wamp\www\cake\cake\console;

NOTE. You will need to change the paths that match yours, also make sure you have one; separation of each path

Important points:

• If you have already installed php and reinstall it: make sure which version of php you are using from the command line by checking the environment variables in the windows

• Make sure you are using the correct php.ini file
