It depends on how your server is configured really.

"which php" minus quotes while logged into ssh should give you a good idea.

Down with PHP, yea, you know me

[enigma]

You're probably looking for the php binary, so you can run a php script on the command line. It's usually installed in /usr/local/bin/php when someone compiles PHP from the sources. If you have a linux distribution that comes with everything pre-installed, it's probably somewhere else. If it's there, you can use this command to find it:

find / -name php

[Fabien]

Ok to tell you the truth he is trying to install a trade script and it's asking for all these


// Path to perl
$perlpath="/usr/bin/perl";

// Path to php
$phppath="/usr/local/bin/php";

// Path to DATE service
$datepath="/bin/date";

// Path to SH

$shpath="/bin/sh";

// Path to FIND utility

$findpath="/usr/bin/find";

// Path to RM utility

$rmpath="/bin/rm";

Now i went and looked under usr/local/bin/ and saw only "rar" and "webalizer"

So this is why i'm asking
Plus it's all in RUSSIAN geeeeeeeeeee

[Fabien]

sorry to hear that

[Fabien]

/usr/bin/php

thanks for helping me out guys

Damn i'm too old for this crap. I'll leave the server side to kiddoes instead

[directfiesta]

Theyre are a few files to help on this. You put them in the root directory:

phpinfo.php


in the cgi-bin:

server.cgi

and a few others....

These files will let you see ALL your pathhs, and what is installed on the server.

If needed, I could today or tomorrow post them on my server....

more likely i say /usr/local/lib/

but use the phpinfo script people already posted

[JSA Matt]

typically /usr/local/php (sometimes with the version, ie: /usr/local/php-4.3.6)

if it's for running crontabs it would be a different path
