更新到El Capitan后在MAMP中设置PHP exec路径时出现问题

Question

For something that should be so simple, I'm finding it maddeningly difficult to set the path that PHP exec() commands use under MAMP on a Mac running El Capitan.

I need the solution to use environment variables rather than (for example) PHP's putenv() or a hardcoded "PATH=foo && ", as this code will be used on different servers that each may use a different path. I had it working fine on Yosemite (though, to be honest, I can't remember what finally worked), but when I upgraded to El Capitan the path was reset.

I've tried the following, and have restarted the computer after each just to be entirely sure that Apache's path was being reset:

• Added to path in /etc/paths and /etc/paths.d
• Added export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin to MAMP/Library/bin/_envvars
• Even set path in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist after disabling SIP to make it possible.
• Edit to add : Also tried a symbolic link to somewhere in the default path, but LaTeX, for example, really needs to live on the path.

After each of these, the path (as indicated by a "exec('echo $PATH', $output);" command in the PHP) remains the same:

\/usr\/bin:\/bin:\/usr\/sbin:\/sbin

I'm at wit's end. If anybody's managed to set the path on a similar setup, I'd love to get input on how it was done.

Thanks!

On Mavericks it worked like this:
- Stop MAMP
- Rename the file /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/envvars_ to /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/envvars (without underscore).
- Add these two lines at the end of the renamed file:

PATH="$PATH:/additional/path1:/additional/path2"
export $PATH

- Start MAMP and have a look into phpinfo() Output
