Find PHP version on windows command line

问题

I just tried to know version of my PHP from windows command typing, C:\> php -v But it is not working. It says php is not recognized as internal or external command.

回答1:

In command prompt type below

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\path\to\php

Where C:\path\to\php is the folder where your php.exe file is located. After this run

C:\>php -v

than you will see something like

PHP 7.3.6 (cli) (built: May 29 2019 12:11:00)

UPDATE:

If you find that when you restart your computer, this solution will not work anymore:

Set the Path like as following:

Step 1 - Click on the Windows icon

Step 2 - Click on the Settings icon

Step 3 - Click on System

Step 4 - Click on About

Step 5 - Click on System info

Step 6 - Click on Advanced system settings

Step 7 - Click on Environment variables...

Step 8 - Select Path row and then click Edit

Step 9 - Click New and then click Browse, then in the next panel which will open you need to select the folder you want in the Path. For the initial premise of this guide i will add the folder C:\Users\NewFolderInPath♥

Note: Replace your PHP installed path(e.g:C:\Program Files\php) with the above path ♥.

Step 10 - Click OK and click every OK button you will encounter to close every previous windows.

You just need to find out where is your PHP folder.

If you are using XAMPP or WAMP then you will see a php folder.
You just need to go into the php folder using your cmd using command

cd \xampp\php (FOR XAMPP)

cd \wamp\php (FOR WAMP)

And then just type in this command

php -v

Then you will see something like

PHP 5.6.11 (cli) (built: Jul 9 2015 20:55:40) Copyright (c) 1997-2015 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2015 Zend Technologies

First open your cmd
Then go to php folder directory, Suppose your php folder is in xampp folder on your c drive. Your command would then be:
```
cd c:\xampp\php
```
After that, check your version:
```
php -v
```

This should give the following output:

PHP 7.2.0 (cli) (built: Nov 29 2017 00:17:00) ( ZTS MSVC15 (Visual C++ 2017) x86 ) Copyright (c) 1997-2017 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2017 Zend Technologies

I have uploaded a youtube video myself about checking the version of PHP via command prompt in Bangla: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVkhD_tv9ck

Go to c drive and run the command as below

C:\xampp\php>php -v

回答5:

It is most likely that php is not in your specified path.

Try to issue the php command with the full path, for example:

C:\> "C:\Program Files\php\php.exe" -v

Please note, that this is just an example, your php installation might be in a different directory.

回答6:

xampp control panel->shell->type php-v you get the version of php of your xampp installed

DB(mariadb/mysql)version type localhost/phpmyadmin in url click enter click on sql type select version(); enter to get the mysql or mariaDb version

For Beginners to anything php, it is usually stored in the C:/ path folder of your PC (My Computer).

==On Windows==
1.Click Start Menu button
2.Type cmd and press enter to select the first program/application that responds to your search result.
A black window terminal will appear, this is known as a Command Line Interpreter
3.In the Terminal Window (Application) Type cd c: and press enter
4.Now type php -v and press enter

and viola there you'll have the current php version that is installed in your machine

Easy Method is: Just copy the file cmd.exe from c:/windows/system32/ and paste it to C:\xampp\php\ and run it, when the cmd opens type " php -v " without quotes and hit enter... you will get your php version.. thank you

For me, the PHP path traversed from php5.6.25 (or php7) installation folder, through wamp folder, bin and php...

C:\wamp64\bin\php\php5.6.25>

回答10:

Open cmd
Type php -v

Output : PHP 5.6.30

回答11:

Easiest way is to, just click on the WAMP icon on task bar and Go to PHP >Version, version will be displayed

回答12:

Nothing to worry it's easy

If you are using any local server like Wamp, Xampp then Go to this Steps

Go to your drive
Check xampp or wamp server that you installed
Inside that check php, if you got then go for next step

C:>"C:\xampp\php\php.exe" -v
