Creating Yii application for the first time

Hie i’m new to the frame work and am trying to create my first application basing on the tutorial getting started but when i tried to run C:\>wamp\yii\framework\yiic webapp www\testdrive on the command prompt,am gettin the following error: “php.exe” is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

you need to add to your PATH the php executable. On Windows it is at the environmental variables:

i added the php executable path to the environmemnt variables and tried to run create my first app again on the command prompt…

C:\>wamp\www\yii\framework\yiic webapp www\testdrive

Error: The directory ‘www\testdrive’ is not valid. Please make sure the parent d

irectory exists.

enter this to a command prompt :

thanx man,it worked so when ever i want to create a new yii application,i’ll do the same procedure??

Almost. You will need to change c:\wamp\www\testdrive bit to the folder where you want to create your application.

i use

path %path%;C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0

C:\wamp\www>C:\wamp\www\yii\framework\yiic webapp demo
