Hi,
I have looked in the documentation but can't find it:
My PHP script (which is run from the command prompt - CLI) needs to know
the file system location of the PHP executable. This is because it needs
to run a second PHP script. I know about the "which" command but it's
not available in all OSes, and that might not be the currently running
executable anyway.
I could prompt the user for this, but that seems kind of silly. Surely,
there must be some way of looking it up automatically?
Thanks,
Mattias
What OS are you working with
Assuming you are on a *nix box this should work
#locate "/php" | grep "/php$"
this should give you locations that have /php as the end of the line
on windows you could do this
cd \
dir /s php*.exe
