Changed Windows PATH but still getting 'php.exe is not recognized ' errormessage

Question

I changed the PATH environment variable to: c:\xampp\php\php.exe

Path to zend framework: c:\xampp\php\ZendFramework-1.11.5

My include_path looking like this: include_path = "C:\xampp\php\;C:\xampp\php\ZendFramework-1.11.5\library"

So then my windows terminal statement going: C:\xampp\php\zendframework-1.11.5\bin\zf.bat create new project quikstart

But still I keep getting the error in the prompt that says

"php.exe" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

What is going on?

PATH environment variable changed to: c:\xampp\php\php.exe? Try Changing PATH environment variable to: `c:\xampp\php\` instead? — Konerak

PATH should be a directory, not a file, so you should set it to "c:\xampp\php\", not "c:\xampp\php\php.exe"
