Welcome to Webune Support -
Today's question is regarding: how to find where php is installed?
ANSWER:
the esiest way to find out is to run a phpinfo() file and look at the path settings, usually you will see something like this:
PHP Variables
| Variable | Value | 
|---|
| _ENV["PATH"] | /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin | 
as you can see, mine is installed in /usr/sbin
you can check by listing the files in /usr/sbin
you will see php in the list: like in my list here: (i used ssh)
