[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

When executing M+x flymake mode, I get

Flymake: Configuration error has occured while running (/usr/bin/php -f
viewrequest_flymake.php -l). Flymake will be switched OFF

My php is in /usr/local/bin/php

This was installed using package-install, with marmalade repository set.

Could it be that you also have /usr/bin/php? I see flymake-php-init has
no hardcoded path.

Hi Leo,

No, only where stated.

Thanks

I don't know what to tell you.
flymake just calls "php".
It sure sounds like something thinks you have a /usr/bin/php.

Why is this necessary? flymake is part of Emacs. What did you install?
What version of Emacs is this?

Does this happen with emacs -Q?

I promise you there is no /usr/bin/php.

I installed flymake-php and want to turn it on.

Emacs 24.3.1 - I've not tried with -Q.

Then my crystal ball says that you are using this

https://github.com/ejmr/php-mode/blob/master/php-mode.el

which is

1) not part of Emacs
2) broken in exactly the way you describe (default value of php-executable).

So you should report this to whoever maintains it.

(NB crystal ball comes with no warranty.)

Yes, you're right - but why does that effect flymake-php?  I ask so I can
try and fix it.

Because they load flymake.el, then clobber its flymake-php-init function
with their own version, which is identical to the default version apart
from using "/usr/bin/php" (by default), thus breaking flymake.

Simply (setq php-executable "php") and it should work.

I assume they want to cater for cases where "php" is not installed as
"php"; if there are any.

I'm going to close this because I don't think there is any bug in Emacs
here; but feel free to keep discussing it here if you like.

(If "php" is commonly installed as something other than "php", perhaps
flymake.el needs a flymake-php-program option, similar to the existing
flymake-xml-program. Likewise for "perl" and "texify".)

Thanks for your help.  I'm going to create a pull request with a fix for

Great! (AFAICS, just defaulting php-executable to "php" would be enough.)

Yes, that does work fine.  Just a bloody nuisance!  It should default to
`php` or `/usr/bin/env php`
