Mac OSX PHP and XAMPP path issue

To use the XAMPP PHP and other binaries found in /Applications/XAMPP/bin/ add the following to the appropriate ~/.zshrc or ~/.bash_profile file depending on your default shell (see note below).

export XAMPP_HOME=/Applications/XAMPP export PATH=${XAMPP_HOME}/bin:${PATH} export PATH 

Reload the current login shell to apply the changes (won't be needed next time you open a shell session):

$ exec $SHELL -l; 

Confirm:

$ which php /Applications/XAMPP/bin/php 

Note: zsh vs bash

Since MacOS Catalina (v10.15, released 2019), the default shell is zsh rather than bash. To find your current shell, open Terminal and type:

$ echo $SHELL 

The output will most likely be either /bin/zsh or /bin/bash unless you changed to another shell at some time.

Follow the instructions above and if using zsh then add the required lines to ~/.zshrc and if using bash then add them to ~/.bash_profile

In My case I did the following

I created my bash profile.

sudo nano ~/.bash_profile

And then added the following to it

export PATH=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin:$PATH export PATH 

And then refreshed my path source ~/.bash_profile Or if that doesn't work you can close the terminal completely and start a new session.

Enter which php And you would see your new php path, in my case /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin If you know what php version you installed, you can also check by entering php -v in my case it output the following.

PHP 5.6.14 (cli) (built: Nov 19 2015 20:37:15) Copyright (c) 1997-2015 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2015 Zend Technologies.

Finally I Solve the Problem. I set the Following Config in my "~/.bash_profile"

If u have a bash_profile U need to Edit otherWise create bash_profile. Then Add these lines 1st

export PATH=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin:$PATH export PATH 

Above is the Xampp path. Next Add The Composer Path(IF U ADD THE COMPOSER PATH 1st IT WON'T WORK)

export PATH="~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH" 

Finally Working Fine for Me.

which php /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/php 

I managed to solve the problem. On the Mac, the XAMPP bin folder and the php file had the wrong permission, hence it was not working. Secondly, I also had to profile the full path

/bin/php-5.5.15:${PATH} 

Thanks

1.Open terminal

2.Run:

echo "$SHELL" 

3.if result is "/bin/zsh", Run:

sudo nano ~/.zshrc 

else Run:

sudo nano ~/.bash_profile 

and enter your devices password

4.add theese lines to the end of the file:

export XAMPP_HOME=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles export PATH=${XAMPP_HOME}/bin/php:${PATH} export PATH 

5.then control+X and enter twice

6.restart
