Location of php executable?

[Arty Ziff]

How do I find the location of the php executable? Running CentOS, and it's not at /usr/local/bin/php...

Look in /usr/bin

 

It's been a while since I used centos

 

you can make yourself a phpinfo file to see the locations

 

place this code into a php file and name it like myinfo.php , then visit http://mysite.com/myinfo.php to see the locations. Use your server name of course.

 

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

In a shell,

$ which php

Thanks, I didn't see the location in phpinfo, but I could be blind... "which" works.

 

Yes, /usr/bin is where CentOS (and I suppose RHEL) puts it.

 

I'm running code from cron outside the web root, thus I can't use lynx ...

If I'm not mistaken you can use the 'locate' command as well. I think 'which' shows you which one the system is currently using, and 'locate' shows you all the locations it can be found at, but includes all instances of the word being located (like directories, files with the word as part of the name, etc).
