you need to use cygpath to convert posix path in window path

You could make a php.sh script like this to invoke your php.exe
with a window path

----------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
for i in $(echo $PATH | tr ':' ' ')
   do
     a=$(find  $i -name $1 -exec cygpath -w  \{\}    \;  )
     if ( [ "$a" != "" ] ) ; then
       /full_cygwin_path/php.exe $a
       exit
     fi
   done

----------------------------------------------------------
