sh：mysql：找不到命令PHP exec（）macOS

Question

I installed mysql with Homebrew on my MacOSX Sierra. Now when I try to execute the PHP function

<?= exec("mysql --version 2>&1"); ?>

i get the error: sh: mysql: command not found

PS: mysql is working fine from the terminal.

Answer 1

It's probable that the path used by PHP does not include the location where the mysql binary was installed. Normally this is /usr/local/bin which is non-standard and not in the default path. Remember, altering your personal path doesn't impact the path of already running system services.

You can probably make this work by specifying the full path to the executable, that is the result of:

which mysql

Which is probably /usr/local/bin/mysql .
