php : The term 'php' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program

Question 1

I am trying to install and setup Laravel 4 through the Git Shell using this tutorial:

It all seems to be working until I have to run php artisan key:generate at which point it gives me the error:

php : The term 'php' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program

I have hunted around and am not sure how to go about setting this up so it recognizes PHP.

Does anyone have any ideas or know of a thorough tutorial to get Laravel 4 setup?

Question 2

Try adding your PHP.exe's folder to your System PATH variables, so PHP can be accessed via terminal.

For example; C:wampbinphpphp5.4.3

To add new PATH variable, follow this:

Right click on My Computer, select Properties
Select Advanced System Settings
In the System Properties window click the Environment Variables button.
Select System Variables -> PATH and click Edit.
Enter the folder where your PHP.exe is located.

If you did this correctly, restart your terminal and type php --version to check if it works.

Note: Don't forget to seperate paths by using ; seperator.

Question 3

Generally speaking, the vendor directory is not committed to VCS, as such, doing a clone on a standard Laravel app won't include all its dependencies.

Once you have cloned, doing composer install (or composer update if you want the latest packages as a developer) will fetch the dependencies and allow your app to work.

Question 4

I've solved the problem. I've corrected the description of the problem to make it accurate.

The source of the problem is that I was incorrectly using the Param keyword multiple times. The correct usage is to declare multiple parameters within a single Param declaration like the following:

Param($p, $d)

This usage is explained in the Windows PowerShell Help article "about_Functions".

Question 5

An alternative method to this would be to check for the 'If-Modified-Since' request header as it will only be present if the browser already has the file.

If it is present, then you know the file is already created and can respond with a link to it, otherwise run your code above. Something like this...

// check if the client validating cache and if it is current
if ( isset( $headers['If-Modified-Since'] ) && ( strtotime( $headers['If-Modified-Since'] ) == filemtime( $image->get_full_path() ) ) ) {

    // cache IS current, respond 304
    header( 'Last-Modified: ' . $image->get_last_modified(), true, 304 );

} else {

    // not cached or client cache is older than server, respond 200 and output

    header( 'Last-Modified: ' . $image->get_last_modified(), true, 200 );
    header( 'Content-Length: ' . $image->get_filesize() );
    header( 'Cache-Control: max-age=' . $image->get_expires() );
    header( 'Expires: '. gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s GMT', time() + $image->get_expires() ) );
    header( 'Content-Type: image/jpeg');

    print file_get_contents( $image->get_full_path() ); 
}

Question 6

Create a keystore If you have an existing keystore, skip to the next step. If not, create one by running the following at the command line:

keytool -genkey -v -keystore ~/key.jks -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias key

Note: Keep this file private; do not check it into public source control.

Note: keytool may not be in your path. It is part of the Java JDK, which is installed as part of Android Studio. For the concrete path, run flutter doctor -v and see the path printed after ‘Java binary at:’, and then use that fully qualified path replacing java with keytool.

Reference the keystore from the app Create a file named appdir/android/key.properties that contains a reference to your keystore:

storePassword=password from previous step
keyPassword=password from previous step
keyAlias=key
storeFile=location of the key store file, e.g. /Users/user name/key.jks

def keystorePropertiesFile = rootProject.file("key.properties")
def keystoreProperties = new Properties()
keystoreProperties.load(new FileInputStream(keystorePropertiesFile))

signingConfigs {
    release {
        keyAlias keystoreProperties['keyAlias']
        keyPassword keystoreProperties['keyPassword']
        storeFile file(keystoreProperties['storeFile'])
        storePassword keystoreProperties['storePassword']
    }
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        signingConfig signingConfigs.release
    }
}
