PHP Modules Tutorials - Herong's Tutorial Examples

∟Managing PHP Engine and Modules on macOS

∟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
