I have setup the bash feature on my Windows 10, it works well but I can't figure how to use it with PHP, despite a lot of research.
I would like to use a popen like this :
$fp = popen("tail ".$file, "r");
But the error.log says that tail is not recognized as an internal or external command. PHP don't recognize any bash commands but they are working in a shell.
I have try to edit the environnment variables, the PATH but nothing...
I would really appreciate some help, thanks !
You are running PHP from windows. Just because you have Linux Bash installed doesn't mean all the applications that are installed in it are available inside of windows. They are two completely different entities.
If you install php inside of Linux Bash and run the script from Linux it should work.
Another alternative is to install Git for Windows or Cmder or something else like this. They have a windows version of tail, you will just need to make sure it is added to your PATH in windows.
For normal Git for Windows installation you will find it at:
C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\tail.exe

I am creating a Wordpress plugin that utilizes PDFTK. I followed the documentation for php-pdftk and my PHP looks like this:
$pdf = new Pdf('/pdf-templates/testpdf.pdf', ['command' => 'C:\Program Files (x86)\PDFtk\bin\pdftk.exe',
'useExec' => true]);
$pdf->fillForm($data)
->flatten()
->saveAs('/generated-pdfs/' . $filename);
I installed php-pdftk using composer and the commands follow through fine. I installed pdftk using
sudo apt-get install pdftk and it runs correctly in my Ubuntu terminal. I am developing on a local version of Wordpress hosted in a Docker container with a WSL2 backend.
I have tried installing pdftk locally to my windows machine and passing the path directly as well as using the Ubuntu installation, but neither command passes and both fail. I used the methods from this question to check whether the command was executing and it isn't, which leaves me to believe that my path is the issue, but even passing the absolute path through did not help. I believe it may be something to do with using Docker. This needs to be usable on a live server as well, so I want to avoid using the local windows install but I needed to test if that would work either. I am totally stumped, and any help would be greatly appreciated
I should also mention that even after installing the local version of pdftk, Powershell, CMD and Git Bash did not register it as a command, but I assumed that since I was passing the hard path to the application it didnt matter if my windows PATH was wrong
I'm trying to install phpunit manually on my windows machine. I don't use composer, so I have to install it manually with a .phar file. I'm following the instructions from the official documentation:
https://phpunit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#windows
I've done every step, but it won't work. phpunit --version will throw me the message 'phpunit' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Can someone Help me?
I'm using Windows 7 64-bit with XAMPP 3.2.2 and PHP 7.1.1.
EDIT:
My phpunit.cmd file location is C:\xampp\php\phar\phpunit.cmd.
The file contains the code #php "%~dp0phpunit.phar" %*. I've added ;C:xampp\php\phar to my PATH variable.
In order to make Windows recognize any command, you must put the binary's path in the relevant environment variable (PATH). Before that you need to create some kind of file Windows can run natively (i.e. not a .phar – can be a command line / batch file or executable). Here are instructions:
https://phpunit.de/manual/current/en/installation.html#installation.phar.windows
Edit: If following the above instructions, it's also important to make sure that php itself is part of the PATH environment variable, so that it's possible to execute commands like php phpunit.phar.
I'm using linux and installed xampp that already provided php in its package. Then, I add "export PATH=/opt/lampp/bin:$PATH" to my "~/.bashrc" so that I can use every commands that is provided in xampp directly from my terminal (without needed to pointing to "/opt/lampp/bin"). Everything works fine.
My problem is I'm using netbeans and when I tried to execute my program, it said "/usr/bin/env: php: No such file" I know it happened because there's no php in my "/usr/bin" since I have it via xampp, but I do have it in my "/opt/lampp/bin". How to configure PHP in netbeans so that it's pointing to "/opt/lampp/bin", instead of "/usr/bin"?
I've googled it and they said that I need to install php-cli, which I think is not a good choice since it makes me have two php in my system. IS there any way for me to use netbeans and php from xampp without needed to install php-cli?
I've also tried to Tools->Options->PHP-General and provide PHP interpreter poiting to "/opt/lampp/bin/php" but it didn't work.
Have you e.g. restarted OS after editing .bashrc file? Or run in command line
. ~/.bashrc
to apply changes in bashrc and then start NetBeans and give it another try. Another option could be to use symbolic link
sudo ln -s /opt/lampp/bin/php /usr/bin/php
If you run "which php" does it point to the lampp directory?
I would like to ask if I can run a php without having installed a web server. Do I have to use the php like CGI and run my page via command line? And if so, what are the steps that I do I have to choose through the installation of php? I mean the preferences as CGI and the components after that step?
I installed the php 5.3.3 but is seems not working, I get several message that the php5ts.dll is missing and when I put that file in my ext folder other error messages appear. Are there any configuration files or steps that I have to use?
(is php 5.3.3 suitable for doing something like this?)
If I have to have a web server installed how can I run my php code through the command line?
You should normally be able to run a php file (after a successful installation) just by running this command:
$ /path/to/php myfile.php // unix way
C:\php\php.exe myfile.php // windows way
You can read more about running PHP in CLI mode here.
It's worth adding that PHP from version 5.4 onwards is able to run a web server on its own. You can do it by running this code in a folder which you want to serve the pages from:
$ php -S localhost:8000
You can read more about running a PHP in a Web Server mode here.
For windows system you should be able to run php by following below steps:
Download php version you want to use and put it in c:\php.
append ;c:\php to your system path using cmd or gui.
call $ php -S localhost:8000 command in a folder which you want to serve the pages from.
PHP is a normal sripting language similar to bash or python or perl. So a script with shebang works, at least on linux.
Example PHP file:
#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php
echo("Hello World!\n")
?>
How to run it:
$ chmod 755 hello.php # do this only once
$ ./hello.php
You can use these kind of programs to emulate an apache web server and run PHP on your computer:
http://www.wampserver.com/en/
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
My system has two PHP interpreters. One came bundled with the OS and the other I installed via the XAMPP package. All of my PHP extensions are applied to the XAMPP installation but PHPUnit seems to only run the version of PHP that came with my machine.
Does anybody know of a way I can configure or rebuild PHPUnit so that it uses my XAMPP PHP interpreter exclusively?
For Mac/Linux, the first line of the phpunit script with starts with
#!/usr/bin/php
change that to
#!/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/php
or whatever other php interpret you want to use.
Find the folder you installed PHPUnit in. There should be a file called phpunit.bat. It should have a line that reads something like
set PHPBIN="C:\php\php.exe"
%PHPBIN% "C:\php\phpunit" %*
Change it to read
set PHPBIN="C:\xampp\php\php.exe"
%PHPBIN% "C:\xampp\php\phpunit" %*
Or whatever the path to your PHP executable is
Since modifying phpunit file did not work for me because of phar signature errors, I was running phpunit with different php version by calling interpreter explicitly (on Linux):
php7.1 /usr/local/bin/phpunit
php5.6 /usr/local/bin/phpunit
Following the example with XAMPP, full path to php interpreter could be provided:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/php /usr/local/bin/phpunit
In agreement with Thomas' statement, additionally there's a line further below
if (strpos('/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin/php', '#php_bin') === 0) {
set_include_path(dirname(__FILE__) . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());
}
That I've been told you're also supposed to change to reflect the PHP you're interested in using
(I've set mine to MAMP obviously)
I've switched back and forth from 5.2 and 5.3 a lot recently :)
This applies to phpunit installed using Homebrew on Mac OS 10.9. I’ve editing the file located at /usr/local/Cellar/phpunit/4.2.6/bin as seen below. CAVEAT: I don’t know how Homebrew will handle this on a PhpUnit update, but for now it’s working to be able to select the php version that PhpUnit is using for it's testing.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
php=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.14/bin/php
#php=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.4/bin/php
/usr/bin/env $php -d allow_url_fopen=On -d detect_unicode=Off /usr/local/Cellar/phpunit/4.2.6/libexec/phpunit-4.2.6.phar $*
On Windows, this may be achieved using a similar approach to the ones mentioned in other replies.
In your /path/to/composer/phpunit directory, open the phpunit file in an editor. The first line should look like this:
#!/usr/bin/env php
Simply download your desired version of PHP for Windows, place the contents of the ZIP file somewhere to your liking, and reference the fully quantified path to the php.exe file, instead of just php. Like so:
#!/usr/bin/env /c/misc/php-5.5.9-nts-Win32-VC11-x86/php.exe
In my case, I put it in /c/misc/php-5.5.9-nts-Win32-VC11-x86/, which corresponds to C:\misc\php-5.5.9-nts-Win32-VC11-x86\ using Windows path syntax.
Remember to verify that the correct php.ini file is being used (php --ini or in a script file php_ini_loaded_file()).
