cant execute php files

[k.ravi]

I installed xampp for linux. no error has reported on installing and started successfully. but also i cant able to execute my php files. while executing my php files iam getting that php command not found. Did i need to configure any files in xampp to run the xampp package successfully?

iam getting that php command not found.

You are using PHP in the shell?

[k.ravi]

yes on using shell to execute php files i got php command not found. To execute php files in command shell should i need to install php separately or xampp is enough.

Learning how to use the Linux shell should be the first step.

i got php command not found

Put "/opt/lampp/bin" in your $PATH, or call php with "/opt/lampp/bin/php".

since Iam new to linux environment. doesn't know all commands. so can you please specify the actual command i should give on terminal to set path to php permanently.
