Using the maillist.php script requires the server to have an executable version of PHP and requires the user to know its location.

Is there a simple php script I can run from the web server to authenticate whether or not I have the correct location of an executable version of PHP? Thanks for any advice. -Steve

I don't have shell access, so I couldn't just enter "which php".

I tried a web page like this:

<?php
echo shell_exec("which php");
?>

and it sends this to the web browser:

/usr/local/bin/php

So I guess I do in fact have an executable PHP, and this is the location. Does that seem right? Thanks. -Steve

That looks correct, that is the default path where the php binary can be found. You can test it by doing


<?php
shell_exec("/usr/local/bin/php -i");
?>

Cool! Looks like I have v4.3.2, that's pretty current I guess? Should be ok for maillist.php? Thanks. -Steve

That should be perfectly fine.
