The following is my output in the command prompt window(DOS Prompt?)

And the following is the PHP code to generate it.

!#C:\php\;

echo"Hello World!";

if ($foo):

echo "yep\n";

elseif ($bar):

echo "almost\n";

else:

echo "nope\n";

endif;

phpinfo();

Now, I know that the variables are not set, so they should be false, but

the

output just displays a "listing" of the code and doesn't process it. In

the

documentation, it states that PHP can be run from the command prompt,

like a

batch file. Now what am I doing wrong.

I do have it working correctly with an Apache server, that I am using
backend.
and my install dir is "C:\php", and it is listed first in the path.

Looks like you're trying to run it as a shell script, or a cgi program.
 Replace the sh-bang on the first line with <?php and make sure the
last line of the script is ?>
eg:

<?php
echo"Hello World!";
if ($foo):
echo "yep\n";
elseif ($bar):
echo "almost\n";
else:
echo "nope\n";
endif;
phpinfo();
?>
Yeah, you just need to enclose the actual script in the opening/closing 
php tags (<?php and ?>).  And to run it as a shell script, you can 
either call the script as...

c:\path\to\php\php.exe filename.php (or just 'php filename.php' if the 
php interperter is in your path), or put the sh-bang as the first line 
(before the opening php tag).
