Hi, welcome to the forum.

You have to add php to the windows PATH environment variable. Check step 4 on this page.

Alternatively, you may specify the full path to the php.exe. For example, If your php.exe is located in C:\xampp\php\, then you execute this in command line:

Thanks very much buddy. My problem has been solved. I need little bit help more that how can I create new application in htdocs path rather than this C:\xampp\php\

If your htdocs is in C:\xampp\htdocs try:


C:\xampp\php\php.exe C:\xampp\framework\yiic webapp C:\xampp\htdocs\myFirstApp



<php.exe location> <yiic location> webapp <path of the new web app>
