This has come up several times before and we agreed a `PHP_BINARY` constant made the most senes. "The problem" with this feature was when we backtrack binary to load the php.ini file, it was to early in the startup to be able to register a constant, variable or whatever.. -Hannes --- ## #56826 — Pierre Joye — 2011-12-07T08:49:14+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/56820#56826 · In reply to: #56824 > HI: > > 1.  the `PHP_BINARY` is only make sence in cli sapi It can be the module as well. However phpUnit has a design mistake here by not allowing to set the php exec binary path to run the tests.

I've code to do this on Windows: #if WIN32 PHP_FUNCTION(get_php_process) { char filename[1024]; GetModuleFileName(NULL, filename, 1024); RETURN_STRING(filename, 1) } #endif On linux, we currently do: $pid = `getmypid()`; $process = "/proc/{$pid}/exe" cheers, Derick -- http://derickrethans.nl | http://xdebug.org Like Xdebug?

The only remaining related bug I like to fix is ot PHP_BINDIR, which is now set at compile time. We could do the same thing than now PG(PHP_BINDIR). > > > > […] > > I've code to do this on Windows: > > #if WIN32 > PHP_FUNCTION(get_php_process) > { >    char filename[1024]; >    GetModuleFileName(NULL, filename, 1024); >    RETURN_STRING(filename, 1) > } > #endif > > On linux, we currently do: > > $pid = `getmypid()`; > $process = "/proc/{$pid}/exe" > > cheers, > Derick > > -- > http://derickrethans.nl | http://xdebug.org > Like Xdebug?
