FuelPHP Forums

Pretty much the same as on linux or anything else. Just use the windows command prompt and put PHP before it. On my laptop with XAMPP installed the full command I give looks like this when in the dir with the oil file:
c:\xampp\php\php.exe oil g controller Test

After a little tinkering around (had to add the path of php.exe to the PATH variable) everything works properly. Thanks

Here's a detailed step-by-step guide as to what I did (on Windows 7): Start > Right-click on Computer and click Properties Click Advanced system settings Click Environment Variables... Under System variables, find the variable named 'Path'. Select it and click Edit... Add the path of the PHP executable file to the end of the Variable value box. Make sure to terminate the previous path with a semi-colon. For example, my path was 'C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.2' so I added that to the end along with a semi-colon. Click OK Open command prompt and navigate to the FUEL folder (mine was 'C:\wamp\www\fuel') by typing

cd C:\wamp\www\fuel

And now you can use the Oil command line utility

I'm kind of new to using command line for PHP, but I found that I got the following error when I typed in "php oil":

The system cannot find the path specified.

I found that by using oil.php instead of oil it worked. Hope this helps someone, as it sure helped me. P.S. Thanks for that guide, it was very helpful.
