PHP Command Not Working in SSH
I'm trying to figure out why the php command is not working in SSH for me. PHP 7 is installed on centos 7 server.
bash: php: command not found
But I know php is installed as I have php sites running on the box. Not sure where it's installed or what the problem is.

It's probably just not in your path.
Try these two steps:
updatedb (only needs to be run once to update the locate index)
locate php | grep -P "/php$"
The locate command should show you all files on the server with "php" in their filename or folder name. The "grep" pipe filters down the results down to just things that end in "/php".
That should give you a pretty short list.
From there, you can always do a soft-link to a common bin folder so you can run it from anywhere:
ln -s <full path of the PHP binary> /usr/bin/php
After you do that, you should be able to call php from anywhere.

@mugojava - I got an error it conflicts with php 7 when trying to install cli.
@gr8gonzo - I tried updatedb and locate command both of which said command not found. I'm on centos 7 not sure if syntax is different.
Thanks

Put this in a file
pi.php
Look in the results for the Path to PHP
Test on the command line by prefixing the call to php with the path - if that works add the path to your system path.

@Julian - I have it here, but not seeing it: http://forums.starcitizenbase.com/phpinfo.php
Search yum did your particular php install.
It may be called php*-cli
Replace * with the version tag you have installed.

You can also do a
Yum list installed php*
If you have php70 installed, for instance, you can install cli correct version with
yum install php70-cli
Substitute php56-cli if you have php 5.6 installed, etc.
