I am using the latest version of XAMPP with XAMPP control panel v2.5 (9 May 2007). I want to access the command line to run php -q htdocs\path\to\file.php
.
Problem: On my XAMPP control panel, I do not see the Shell
button that will bring up the command line interface. How can I access the shell, or is there another way to run the PHP file?
My XAMPP Control Panel
What I am finding:
To start XAMPP simply call this command: /opt/lampp/lampp start Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.5.
Making server request: Open your web browser and check whether the XAMPP service has properly installed or not. Type in the URL: http://localhost. If you are able to see the default page for XAMPP, you have successfully installed your XAMPP Server.
XAMPP is a free and Open-source cross-platform Web Server Solution Stack built by Apache Friends, which consists mostly of the Apache HTTP Server, MariaDB/MySQL Database, and interpreters for PHP and Perl scripts.
If You need to access XAMPP shell to run i.e pear command You need to go to XAMPP installation directory and run xampp-control-3-beta.exe (XAMPP version 1.7.7). After clicking xampp shell button it prompt pops up asking if You want to create shell.bat say Yes and You are good to go.
If you have php.exe
's directory in your PATH
environment variable, you can simply open a command line window (Start > Run > cmd), go in your PHP script directory and launch it with php yourscript.php
.
