PHPstorm cannot find php

Hi there,

Your are on Windows. Now find your php.exe. Lets assume that it is in C:\PHP\php.exe.

In PhpStorm you need provide path to that folder, which is C:\PHP (based on our example)

If PhpStorm is still unable to recognize it -- maybe you have problem in your php.ini. I suggest run it in command line and see if it will produce any errors (e.g. php.exe -v or php.exe -i). You can always delete your php.ini and use one of the defaults suppried with php (e.g. php.ini-development -- rename to php.ini and configure as required).

Regarding EasyPHP. It can be installed in folder named something like this (depends how you installed it, of course): C:\EasyPHP-5.3.9\php\php539x130201222616\php.exe

Also -- have a look at this thread: http://devnet.jetbrains.com/thread/441018

I do not really think that it applies to you since you just started to learn PHP .. but who knows...

The post is old but i have the same problem with last version of PHPSTORM

i post the same post about phpstorm not recognize php.exe


I test php -i and phph -v
My cursor what set to this path  >cd ....
>C:\EasyPHP-5.3.9\php\php539x130201222616>

1) php -i output is big ; it doesn't help if we don't what variables/things to search focus  !!
I have
PHPRC= > C:\Easyphp\apache
PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN => C:\Easyphp\php\php539x130201222616\php.exe


2) php -v return this
PHP 5.3.9 (cli) (built: Jan 10 2012 16:19:02)
