Where is executable file php?

[bdronka]

Hello,

I have php-8.2.15 installed.
I want to run the command php -f cron.php unfortunately on a system where there is no executable php file. How else can I run this command? Has something changed, that the old system has php and not the new one?

Please show emerge --info dev-lang/php:8.2 as well as eselect php list cli

Php can run in different modes. If php executable means command line interpreter, you must build it with USE="cli".
I think dynamic websites are a much more common use case, and this requires USE="cgi" or "apache" or whatever. Bottom line: php has a lot of modules to chose from, and selected USE flags determine which modules are actually installed on your system.
