Does Pi supports PHP?

[lilzz]

I like to know if Pi can support PHP?
Or I need compile the PHP source codes targeting arm V6 processor.

PHP is supported on the Pi, both on command line (php5-cli) and web server (libapache2-mod-php5).

I typed which php on command line , nothing found. How do I invoke it on command line?

Did you already install php ( via "sudo apt-get install package-name") ? rpdom has already mentioned
the names of the respective PHP packages.

Yes, for command line usage you will need to install the "php5-cli" package.

Probably an out of date package index. Try

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php5-cli

If it fails, please post all of the messages reported.

It failed. It's looking at http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/rasp ... ts/wheezy/
but there are no php5-cli packages

it couldn't find the packages it wanted.

There may be other important messages in there. We can't work out what the problem is with no information.
It should be looking for pool/main/p/php5/php5-cli_5.4.4-14+deb7u7_armhf.deb in the Rasbian Wheezy repo.
