How to add shebang #! with php script on linux?

linux, php, shebang

Solution

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.

Problem

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 ```
