PHP Version Pre-Installed on macOS
This section provides notes to verify PHP version supported on macOS and run a simple PHP interactive scripting session.
macOS comes with PHP engine pre-installed. Here is what I did to verify the PHP version and program file location:
1. Start a Terminal and run "php -version" to see the PHP version number:
herong$ php -version PHP 5.6.30 (cli) (built: Feb 7 2017 16:18:37) Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies
2. Run PHP scripts interactively:
herong$ php -a Interactive shell php > print "Hello world!\n"; Hello world! php > exit
3. Verify PHP program file locations:
herong$ which php /usr/bin/php
4. Get a detailed list of modules supported in PHP:
herong$ php -i | more phpinfo() PHP Version => 5.6.30 System => Darwin local 16.7.0 Darwin Kernel Version 16.7.0: Thu Jun 15 17:36:27 PDT 2017; root:xnu-3789.70.16~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 Build Date => Feb 7 2017 16:11:14 Configure Command => '/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Binaries/apache_mod_php /apache_mod_php-117.2~3/TempContent/Objects/php/configure' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--disable-dependency-tracking' '--sysconfdir=/private/etc' ...
