Where is PHP on a server ?
 

do you know where the hell is php on a server (unix)

i need to know the path for a script

or what command from a SSH session i need to type in to know where PHP is

I ain't a server Guru
:helpme

"which php"

yeh i got php on mah server

i think you should quit :glugglug

I did

it's my son asking me:winkwink:

It depends on how your server is configured really. :)

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

Thanks

i will tell him

I will go play with my Atari again

probably usr/bin/php

Got to be it...:1orglaugh

Down with PHP, yea, you know me

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

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

ive lost mine it was there a minute ago :Oh crap

oh shit
you lost your databases ?


yurkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
sorry to hear that:BangBang:

/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

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

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
