change the PHP path to MAMPs PHP

Question

I\'m running PHP with MAMP on OSX 10.5.8

So if I want to run a script from console I always need to write

/applications/mamp/bin/php5.3/bin/php path/         


        

Answer 1

Create a file called .bash_profile on your home directory (if you don't have this file already), and add this to the file:

export PATH=/Applications/mamp/bin/php5.3/bin:$PATH

Then quit and relaunch Terminal.app
