Topic : setting “$PATH” variables for PHP in AMPPS (OXS)

Posted By: dannyb on January 27, 2015, 3:19 pm

I have a question about setting "$PATH" variables for PHP scripts in AMPPS (On OSX Yosemite).

The PHP in AMPPS seems to run as my user "danny", however the $PATH it sees is different. Here's what I see from my terminal: Dannys-MacBook-Air:AMPPS danny$ echo $PATH; /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

And here is what I get within a PHP script by printing out $_ENV: ["PATH"]=> string(29) "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin" ["USER"]=> string(5) "danny"

I tried doing "putenv()", tried doing "shell_exec" with a different $PATH, I tried doing SetEnv in .htaccess and in the Apache config file. I tried editing the systemwide /etc/.bashrc , and my users ~/.bash_profile. Neither helped so far.

All I need is to have /usr/local/bin as part of my $PATH

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Danny
