使用Pear的PHP代码，在Mac上使用MAMP Pro

Question

I’d like to ask for some help getting Pear’s PHP Code Sniffer set up properly.

I’m using MAMP pro 2.0.5 on a Mac PB 10.7.4 with PHP 5.3.6. I do have Pear installed and can run pear commands, when I installed the PHP_CodeSniffer channel I didn’t get any errors but I can’t trigger any commands.

Here is a screen shot of my command line: https://skitch.com/stephanief0042/etuck/alohamediaworks-bash-100x40

I was able to reference this post: Putting PEARs php_dir into include_path in php.ini

But my include path seems correct: include_path = ".:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/lib/php:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/pear"

When I traced the path to the PHPCS install I found it’s executable file on this path: Users/alohamediaworks/pear/bin/phpcs

I’m not sure if i’m one symlink from being able to use this or not, any help or suggestions would be welcome.

Answer 1

PEAR will install bin files like PHPCS into a configurable location. You can see this location by running pear config-show | grep bin_dir.

The value here is probably currently /Users/alohamediaworks/pear/bin

You might want to just set it to /Applications/MAMP/bin or somewhere local on your Mac, like /usr/local/bin.

Before you do this, it is worth uninstalling PHP_CodeSniffer, and also checking that PEAR knows where PHP is by running pear config-show | grep php_bin.

I'll assume both values need changing:

pear uninstall PHP_CodeSniffer
pear config-set bin_dir /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin
pear config-set bin_dir /Applications/MAMP/bin
pear install PHP_CodeSniffer

(check that the paths are valid first and that you don't have friendlier symlink versions)

You need the php_bin to be correct because PEAR will change the #! line of all bin files (like phpcs) on install to point to your PHP executable. The bin_dir is important to ensure bin files are placed into a directory that is in your path. Uninstalling PHP_CodeSniffer is required so old files are not left around (PEAR wont move them).

Hope that helps.
