Setting up a PHP debug tool

[Nick]

I currently have a tool set up to check php syntax set up as follows:
Command: cmd.exe
Parameter: W:\xampp\php\php -l $File
Initial folder: $FileDir

I'm now using wampstack instead of xampp and the equivalent parameter, C:\Bitnami\wampstack-7.1.25-0\php -l $File
does not work.

Anyone know how to set it up so it does work?

Command: cmd.exe
Parameter: W:\xampp\php\php -l $File

Why not calling PHP.EXE directly - why piping it thru CMD.EXE?

C:\Bitnami\wampstack-7.1.25-0\php -l $File

Does this even exist? Have you entered this very line into a command prompt and it starts PHP.EXE?

does not work

What did you expect and what happened instead? Also consider using a proper way:

1. Configure > Preferences > Tools > Add > Program
2. Select a file: the PHP.EXE > Ok > Apply
3. (your new tool) Parameters: -l $File; Regular expression to match output: (empty that textbox) > Ok
