zsh：找不到命令：php

Question

I have been using php with mamp on mac for a year even with old versions of MacOS, since I installed MacOS Monterrey if I type php on the terminal I get a message: zsh: command not found: php

Using older versions of MacOS I have never had this problem.

How can I solve the problem?

Answer 1

When I update MacOS Monterey, PHP was remove. I found this article it useful and solve this problem for me. https://wpbeaches.com/updating-to-php-versions-7-4-and-8-on-macos-12-monterey

Add the PHP formulae

brew tap shivammathur/php

Choose the PHP version – this example uses 7.4

brew install shivammathur/php/php@7.4

Link the PHP Version

brew link --overwrite --force php@7.4

Restart the Terminal

php -v

Answer 2

I had the same issue after updating to Monterry. After some googling, I find out MacOS doesn't include PHP. You need Homebrew to install PHP again.

brew install php

Answer 3

Homebrew users:

This can happen simply because your php version is not linked.

Goto /usr/local/Cellar, list out the content and see what versions of php you have installed. You should see directories and symlinks as so:

lrwxr-xr-x    1 kazajhodo  admin      7 May 22  2019 php72 -> php@7.2
lrwxr-xr-x    1 kazajhodo  admin      7 Feb 26  2020 php73 -> php@7.3
lrwxr-xr-x    1 kazajhodo  admin      7 Jun 12  2020 php74 -> php@7.4
lrwxr-xr-x    1 kazajhodo  admin      7 Jan 22  2021 php80 -> php@8.0
lrwxr-xr-x    1 kazajhodo  admin      7 Jan  4 11:58 php81 -> php@8.1
drwxr-xr-x    3 kazajhodo  staff     96 Jan  4 11:34 php@7.2
drwxr-xr-x    3 kazajhodo  staff     96 Aug  8 19:32 php@7.3
drwxr-xr-x    4 kazajhodo  staff    128 Jan  4 11:55 php@7.4
lrwxr-xr-x    1 kazajhodo  admin     18 Jan 22  2021 php@8.0 -> /usr/local/bin/php
lrwxr-xr-x    1 kazajhodo  admin     18 Jan  4 11:58 php@8.1 -> /usr/local/bin/php

If the version you want is there, you can link it with brew link php@7.4 .

Then your bash should have php defined.

Installing php again will also work, because it will add the symlink in the install process; but you only likely actually need the symlink.

I have same problem and this is the solution that I use for this.

1. install Xcode using your terminal

    xcode-select --install

2. install homebrew using your terminal

    /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

   when it finish the process you need to add the homebrew in your path and for this put this code

    echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> /Users/**xxxxxxx**/.zprofile eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

   xxxxxxx write your user name

   now you can check if homebrew is run correctly, use the next code.

    brew --version

   you can see in the terminal the version that you have install in your pc

3. now is time for install php for this

    brew install php

   finally, you can try see the version of php installed

    php --version

Answer 5

If you want the latest PHP release in macOS Monterey then follow these steps:

1: brew tap shivammathur/php

2: brew install shivammathur/php/php@8.2

3: brew link --overwrite --force php@8.2

to check if its working, write this in the terminal: php -v

if you get something along the lines of PHP 8.2.0-dev (cli) then its working

Answer 6

我需要安装 php :D

brew install php

Answer 7

When I have tried to install composer for laravel 8 on XAMPP localhost (on Macbook pro- on the path /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/the my project folder), and when I have run first command: php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"

I have gotten this message in command line (terminal): -bash: /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.4.16/bin/php: No such file or directory

For that, I installed localhost MAMP

Also, I noticed php7.4.16 is in path, but I'm using ver 8.

and when I installed php7.4.16 also, when I opened its folder, I found its subfolders are different of other versions that exist in /MAMP/bin/php , and it doesn't contain same folders in the rest of path , further to, this version is not supported longer.

why this version shows in my installation path although it's old & dead version?

But, when I read the problem has posted here, I have tried to install brew , it issues for me the following message:

Warning: You are using macOS 10.13. We (and Apple) do not provide support for this old version. You will encounter build failures with some formulae. Please create pull requests instead of asking for help on Homebrew's GitHub, Twitter or any other official channels. You are responsible for resolving any issues you experience while you are running this old version.

So, it's not Possible to install it, because my MacOS is 10.13, and my computer specifications don't allow to upgrade to higher ver.

kindly, anybody could help me to solve this problem?

Also, could me to install composer on XAMPP instead of MAMP, because I have a copy of it on my MacBook computer already?

Thank you for my helping in advance.

You have to edit the file .zshrc

vim ~/.zshrc

and Then you update the path for your php

type on "?" search "php" ... type enter, it will show you the line where php is. If not you have to add the path of your PHP.

You use Mamp, then it should on the root of mamp. set it on your .zshrc

This my .zshrc related to php :

#export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.4/bin:$PATH"
#export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.4/sbin:$PATH"
#export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@8.1/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@8.1/sbin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"

Answer 9

Just using brew install php will install the latest php in mac. You can then enable php in Apache by adding the following to httpd.conf and restart Apache:

LoadModule php_module/usr/local/opt/php/lib/httpd/modules/libphp.so

Answer 10

You probably need to fix it in the .bashrc file.

Do this:

Open the terminal and run this command:

nano ~/.bashrc 

Then add this line in the .bashrc file:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/share/php/bin

Save and exit ( ctrl + x )
