How to add shebang #! with php script on linux?
I'm having a little issue with adding shebang #! with my php script on RedHat linux. I have a small piece of test code with shebang added (I've tried different variations as well), but I get the following error message everytime I try to run the script.
Error msg:
-bash: script.php: command not found
Test script:
#!/bin/env php
<?php echo "test"; ?>
Shebang #! variations:
#!/usr/bin/php
#!/usr/bin/env php
Answer
It should (for most systems) be #!/usr/bin/env php, but your error isn't related to that.
-bash: script.php: command not found
It says that script.php is not found.
If the problem was the shebang line then the error would say something like:
bash: script.php: /usr/env: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
Presumably, you are typing script.php and the file is not in a directory on your $PATH or is not executable.
- Make it executable:
chmod +x script.php. - Type the path to it instead of just the filename, if it is in the current directory then:
./script.php.
Instead of 2, you can move/copy/symlink the file to somewhere listed in $PATH or modify the $PATH to include the directory containing the script.
