Howard.

2 things.

1 - Please use reply to all as I'm NOT the only person on the list.
2 - Please bottom post as it makes it easier for readers to read the
message in order.

As your previous response
Can you now type the following commands ...

FOR %P IN (php.exe) do %~dpnx$PATH:P -v
.\php.exe -v
..\php.exe -v

I'm wondering if you have 2+ versions of PHP installed.

If the above does output multiple versions, try these lines ...

FOR %P IN (php.exe) do %~dpnx$PATH:P -n -f
"X:\work\hholcomb\PHP\test\phpinfo.php"
.\php.exe -n -f "X:\work\hholcomb\PHP\test\phpinfo.php"
..\php.exe -f "X:\work\hholcomb\PHP\test\phpinfo.php"

Regards,

Richard.

P.S. Put your response beneath this line.
- - - - - - - - - -

Results are

X:\work\hholcomb>

Note - under X:\work\hholcomb\PHP, I have 
	1. the directory named "extracted-5.3.3_VC9" which contains php.exe
	2. the directory named "extract_5.3.3_VC6" which contains php.exe
But as you can see only the extract_5.3.3_VC6 version is found via the PATH environment variable.

I run the 2nd shell cmd even though there was only 1 php.exe found.  The results were

X:\work\hholcomb\PHP\extract_5.3.3_VC6>FOR %P in (php.exe) do %~dpnx$PATH:P
-n -f "X:\work\hholcomb\PHP\test\phpinfo.php"

p.exe   -n -f "X:\work\hholcomb\PHP\test\phpinfo.php"
Could not open input file: X:\work\hholcomb\PHP\test\phpinfo.php
