title: PHP PATH environment SET Properly but in windows 7 not detected
body: <p>I m having a weird problem.I set the php path variable, E:\xampp\php , manually in windows 7. which didnt work , then from command prompt as  <strong>SET PATH=%PATH%;E:\xampp\php</strong></p>
  
  <p>which also didnt work, if I want to check php version by <strong>php -v</strong> it shows that system is finding all the dll files from E:\xampp\php... , somehow that path is NOT replaced anyway by my new path setting.I restarted the pc several times but to NO avail.I m using xampp portable version. is there another way I can get xampp portable to know my php path by hardcoding the varible.</p>
