Find PHP version on windows command line

Question

I wanted to know the version of my PHP by using the windows command, C:\> php -v But it didn't work. It returned - "PHP is not recognized as internal or external command".

Can someone help me with this?

Answer 1

Type this in the command prompt:

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

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

C:\>php -v

It will display:

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

I hope this helps you.
