PHP command not found in my shell for windows 10 neither in git bash. I tried all the available solution from here

Question

When I typed php in my command prompt, It results

C:\Users\samsung>php
'php' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I have installed xampp in my windows 10 and I haven't edited the php.ini file in the settings. Any help to enable this php command would be greatly appreciated because I am stock in my laravel composer setup due to this.

If you are using windows:

Open My Computer Properties
Click on Advance System Setting
Select Environment Variables
Click on Path & Edit
Click new & Add your PHP.exe path (e.g. C:\xampp\php\php.exe) As shown in the picture

then Restart

No, I mean, you can delete your answer, and put it as a comment in the original question or in one of the answers, where you see it fit best – phoenixstudio Dec 17 '20 at 11:16
