Ubuntu Jaunty: Can't find PHP interpreter

I'm trying to find the php5 interpreter on my Ubuntu Jaunty system and
I'm stumped.
I looked in the properties within the package manager and apparently,
when it installs, the files go all over the machine! There are files in
at least 15 directories.
I'm trying to point another app at the interpreter.

You didn't mention you already asked this in alt.os.linux.ubuntu
where you found where it installs. I think you should return there, as
yours is an Ubuntu question, not a PHP question.


Did you install the web server? Any app residing within the web spaces
should find and use PHP.

Yep...It's posted in the linux group but *I think it has relevance here as
well.

Sometimes if I don't get useful feedback on a problem involving multiple
technologies, I post in the relevant groups. Sorry if this is a problem for
anyone. I usually return to update and give everyone the benefit if I find
the answer because some here may now or eventually experience the same
difficulty.

The reason I couldn't find the php interpreter was because it wasn't
installed.
On my linux system I *think there may be several phps; a command line
version, a cgi version, etc. (Shed light here if anyone knows for sure)
Eclipse PDT which I'm trying to use as my IDE installs a lite version?? of
one of these (this is supposition) and that's why phpinfo() got executed
when php was not present.

Confusing...yes. LAMP stack with Eclipse PDT; a total hairball to get
working.

If you have a question that relevant to more than one NG, that maybe the
time to *cross-post* a *single* post to those groups. Note: "cross-post"
not "multi-post". That way the post is visible in those groups so that
one does not waste time answering it in one group when it is already
adequately answered in another.

For your "newsreader" I would guess you would use a ';' delimited list
newsgroups in the 'to' field:
