I am using XAMP for magento2. I am not able to run commands and getting error:
php is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
I try these commands: C:\xampp\htdocs\magento2>php bin/magento indexer:reindex, php\bin\magento indexer:reindex
You can run php pages using php.exe create some php file with php code and in the cmd write:
[PATH to php.ext]\php.exe [path_to_file]\file.php
Example Case for you:
1. My XAMPP is installed on D:\php\ and php.exe resides in D:\php\php and Magento folder is here D:\php\htdocs\MG\m212 ( http://localhost/MG/m212/)
2. Re-indexing:
i. Go on to D:
ii. D:\php\php>php D:\php\htdocs\MG\m212\bin\magento indexer:reindex
On XAMPP
Installed Xampp_root/php>php 'Path_to_project'
It will work for you.
EDIT:
cd c:\xampp\php\Make sure your PHP path is added to your windows system's environment variable. After that you may able to run commands successfully.
Here is tutorial Add PHP to Your Windows Path Variable will help you
Or you can try below command
C:\xampp\php\php.exe C:\xampp\htdocs\magento2\bin\magento indexer:reindex
Try This Command
D:\xampp7.2\php\php.exe D:\xampp7.2\htdocs\m232\bin\magento indexer:reindex
Use In Batch File
