PHP CLI Not Running but Installed...Sort of

[MojoCreations]

I am trying to get PHP CLI to work and it is not working for me at all. When I run sudo find I get

[~]# sudo find / -name php-cli
/home/virtfs/usrone/usr/bin/php-cli
/usr/bin/php-cli

If I go to the usr directory and edit the php-cli link it shows me, /usr/local/bin/php. Is this correct?

I run /usr/local/bin/php -v and get the following

root[~]# /usr/local/bin/php -v
PHP 5.5.17 (cli) (built: Sep 24 2014 11:53:13)
Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.5.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Zend Technologies
    with the ionCube PHP Loader v4.6.1, Copyright (c) 2002-2014, by ionCube Ltd.

If I run sudo yum install php-cli it returns

root [~]# yum install php-cli
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

Setting up Install Process
No package php-cli available.
Error: Nothing to do

If I run rpm -q php-cli i get

root[~]# rpm -q php-cli
package php-cli is not installed

If I run php -a i get an Interactive Shell with a php > prompt

root[~]# php -a
Interactive shell
php >

I have a php file i am testing which results in Not Running from CLI. The php script is:

<?php
if(php_sapi_name()==="cli")
  echo("Running from CLI"); 
else
  echo("Not Running from CLI");

What am I missing here? I can't seem to figure out how to get CLI to work. Thanks for the help.

Hello

You should already have it installed by default at:

/usr/bin/php-cli

Thank you.

Michael,

It looks like it is installed but not running or working with the script i used. Did you see the script I ran, it came back that its not working.

If I go to the usr directory and edit the php-cli link it shows me, /usr/local/bin/php. Is this correct?
