How To Run PHP From Windows Command Line in WAMPServer

0 votes
I'm new to php and wanted to run php from command line. I have installed WAMP and set the "System Variables" to my php folder ( which is C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3).

When i go to Run -> CMD -> Type php -a and hit enter, it says interactive mode enabled. But when I write echo 'Hi'; it shows nothing.

I even don't see anything like 'php >" when i type php -a and hit enter.
