sublimetext3 - PHP build system error in sublime text 3 -

system configuration:

ubuntu 14.04 (64 bit) + xampp installed (/opt/lampp) + sublime text 3 (build 3065 )

i trying create php build system inside sublime text 3 of this interesting post failed do. please see work , issue far

create new build via tools > build system > new build system ... , save as

php.sublime-build

{     "cmd": ["php", "-l", "$file"],     "file_regex": "php$",     "selector": "source.php",     "working_dir": "${project_path:${folder:${file_path}}}" } 

now when press ctrl + b or f7 on .php file gives below error

[errno 2] no such file or directory: 'php'  [cmd: ['php', '-l', '/opt/lampp/htdocs/wish/make.php']]  [dir: /opt/lampp/htdocs/chrome]  [path: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games]   [finished] 

it seems php path issue , added php path in file

"cmd": ["/opt/lampp/bin/php", "-l", "$file"] 

now ctrl+b gives no error in console but gives info on status bar : file build finished 1 error (see image below )

and not show output in sublime text window expected behavior of build system

what wrong here, please correct me.

reference : sublime text build system

i solved finally. below steps

1. install php5-cli

   sudo apt-get install php5-cli 

   while installing , gives php path

   update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/php5 provide /usr/bin/php (php) in auto mode

2. check command line php .php file on terminal (ctrl+alt+t)

   :~$ /usr/bin/php /opt/lampp/htdocs/parixan/arr.php  

   it executed fine

3. edit /home/keshav/.config/sublime-text-3/packages/user/php.build_system

   changed path , remove "-l" second argument

   "cmd": ["/usr/bin/php", "$file"] 

4. restart sublime text , press ctrl+b on opened .php , output of file returns in sublime window.( expected behavior ).

hope someone. :)
