Hi,
I'm taking an online course that uses your book. My system runs Win 7 with the xampp setup, and actually works very nicely - 'til now.
Trying the initial test (php -v) results in a nasty ''php' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.' Missing info in the path statement, I suspect. Tried entering C:\xampp\php\ there, but still got the same result. In \xampp\php\ there is a file 'php-cgi.exe' (nothing that refers to 'cli'). Does this need to be added to the path statement? Also, does the system need a restart for the new path to be recognized?
Needless to say, I'm a Mac guy, but my 9 year old PPC does not support CS5, and also has a very old version of PHP loaded, so I'm pushed to my Win machine. Apologies for my 'Page 1' questions.
Thoughts appreciated.
John
