Using PHP in the terminal, xampp

2

I'm trying to use PHP through the terminal, but I can not, when I type which php it returns /usr/bin/php so I can not run PHP files, so it can not find the files.

I'm using XAMPP for MAC

At the root of your user folder, ~ , has a file named .bash_profile . Add the following at the end of it:

export PATH="/applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin:$PATH"

Save the file and restart the terminal. Now which php should indicate the XAMPP php-cli.

Alternative # 1

To call an executable from a specific directory, just type the full path to it. Instead of

php meuscript.php

use like this:

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/php meuscript.php

Alternative # 2

Navigating to the folder where PHP is from XAMPP, and running from there:

cd /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin
php meuarquivo.php
