If php isn't in your path, it is of course appropriate to add it.

Use Console/cake

However, it's not necessary to have cake in your include path (or IMO a good idea). In version 1.x it was the preferred/recommended way to access CakePHP's cli but not any more.

Instead of using an executable in your path, use the executable for whichever application is most relevant:

cd some\app
Console\Cake

Welcome to Cakephp v.....
-------------------------

This also avoids problems where multiple applications are installed using different versions of CakePHP.
