I am sorry about my english.

I want to know why I can call php.exe in cmd.exe program anywhere

Detail about that:

C:\Documents and Settings\Emlaconga Bebe>php.exe -v
PHP 5.3.2 (cli) (built: Mar 3 2010 20:36:54)
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies

C:\>php.exe -v
PHP 5.3.2 (cli) (built: Mar 3 2010 20:36:54)

If I have a program, ex: myprogram.exe, how to I can run it anywhere as php.exe?

Againt... Sorry about my english.

From your command window, run

Code:

echo %PATH%

Take a look at the output, you should be able to find your PHP installation directory there.

Search online for something like "set windows environment variable", or grab a book on windows. You should be able to find out how to modify %PATH% (which is an environment variable) through control panel.

Say myprogram.exe is in c:\bar, you just need to make sure that at the end of your %PATH%, add

Code:

;c:\bar
