Hi,

I had the same issue.

I have installed the xampp package, and I had C:\xampp\php in my PATH environment variable.
So the phpinfo() here always showed the PHP installed with xampp.

I removed C:\xampp\php from my PATH in order to see the PHP info which came with the ELECTRON-4-PHP git package. Then it showed

PHP server not started. Retrying...
It works when you change main.js to add the path to the bundled PHP like this:

const server = new PHPServer({
php: "php\php.exe", // <==== ADDED
port: 5555,
directory: __dirname,
directives: {
display_errors: 1,
expose_php: 1
}
});
Perhaps this should just be added to the README file?

Regards
Rajeshwaran

Please run .bat file you get with package.

Did anyone else find a valid solution to this problem other than just saying "please run the .bat file".
I have this working fine on macos, but it fails on windows. I think this might have something to do with PHP being distributed with windows.

This is the solution, thanks !

I'm using Laravel with this repo, and was getting the same issue. My code in main.js (lines 68-87):
server = new PHPServer({
php: "${__dirname}/php/php.exe", //Quotation marks there are acually backticks, but Github didn't like it
port: 5555,
directory: __dirname,
directives: {
display_errors: 1,
expose_php: 1
} }
); }

(Github didn't let me format this code for some reason, sorry)

When I ran this, I got one "PHP server not started. Retrying..." message, then it opened up my app and gave me this message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in C:\Users\thegr\Desktop\ELECTRON-4-PHP\Scouting-Program\vendor\symfony\string\Resources\functions.php on line 34
When I looked up this issue, I came across a stackoverflow post that said the error was caused by a Null Coalescing Assignment Operator, which was introduced in php 7.4. Taking a peek in the bundled php installation, I saw that it was version 7.2, so I deleted the installation and reinstalled my own at current version. I had to uncomment a few extensions, (I just copied my personal php.ini file contents), and renamed the php.ini-development to php.ini (for some reason it wasn't loading otherwise), and my app loaded and worked as intended! Hopefully others find this helpful, even though its a little off topic for the thread

I'm still getting this issue...
I'm using MacOS and I get this error :

PHP Server error Error: spawn php ENOENT

}

Maybe this should be fixed.

Check if the administration permission is given.

Dear AJ,

I'm running the program on my mac, and when I run the "sudo npm start" it gives me this error:

PHP Server error Error: spawn php ENOENT
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:269:19)

    '-d',
    'display_errors=1',
    '-d',
    'expose_php=1'
  ]
}
PHP Server closed

I'm I suppose to have PHP installed? Because in main.js you don't have any path for php if not running in windows. I'm running this command in "sudo". Any idea on why I might be having this issue?

Poreis · 2023-02-28T14:22:34Z

Solved the issue by installing PHP on macOS.

aj-techsoul · 2023-03-06T16:25:49Z

Great, thanks for letting me know.
