Sublime Text 2使用了错误的PHP版本

Question

I'm trying to test a class which involves a module installed in PHP 5.5 extension directory, specifically Couchbase (which is running ok and I'm developing on top of it just fine in the same machine). But when php unit try to run the tests gives me an error saying the class Couchbase is not found, which is of course defined in the php sdk. I'm on MacOSX 10.7.3.

when I run in my terminal

tomas:~ tomasruiz$ php -v

PHP 5.5.8 (cli) (built: Jan 12 2014 19:34:38)

tomas:~ tomasruiz$ which php

/usr/local/php5/bin/php

I created a plugin in Sublime Text 2 to see the php version used in sublime Text

import sublime, sublime_plugin
import subprocess
import os

class ExampleCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
    def run(self, edit):
        self.view.window().run_command('exec', {'cmd': ["php", "-v"]})

and this is what it returns...

and the same thing as above but with "which php" ..

/usr/bin/php

Someone has any idea on how to configure that? or what am I doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I assume you mean you're running php unit through ST build system? If that's so here's how I managed to fix a similar problem

Solution 1: Symlink

mv /usr/bin/php /usr/bin/php53
ln -s /usr/local/php5/bin/php /usr/bin/php

Solution 2: Edit or create a second build system for PHP

{ “cmd”: [“/usr/local/php5/bin/php”, “$file”], “file_regex”: “php$”, “selector”: “source.php” }

The problem you're facing is most likely caused by that the user under which ST runs PHP is not set up to use /usr/local/php5/bin/php executable, but the OS X built in old PHP 5.3 as /usr/bin/ is the next place where system tries to find the executable, if it's not found in a local bin directory.

I suggest using solution 1 as that way you will be sure everything on your system is using the correct PHP version.
