PHP_interpreter

I have added a screenshot of the problem.

I wan't to use the PHP interpreter, but it looks like I need to install an wamp or xamp solution. I don't want to do that because we have a own develop server where the php is installed.

So I want to tell Netbeans to take that folder as the Interpreter.

If I understand it correctly, you want to use PHP interpreter from some remote PC. This is definitely not supported - how could it work? You would need to connect to the remote PC, transfer your file(s) there, run it and transfer the result of the run back to your PC? And what if you want to work e.g. with your local filesystem?

But, back to the original issue - you want to run PHPUnit tests on your server, right? It means that you have your project there, PHP interpreter and PHPUnit as well. Could you confirm this, please?

Thanks.

BTW you don't, you can simply install only PHP itself.

The php interpreter and the phpunit are installed on the remote server. We have mapped the server with the project and run this project in Netbeans. So we are working in remote files.

We do run the phpunit test from commandline. All I want to do is that this tests are run in Netbeans. The test files and the files that needs to be tested are in Netbeans.

So yes: the project, phpunit and php interpreter are all on the remote server.

Thanks for confirmation.

As I look at:

And

It looks like it is possible to use /usr/bin/php as interpreter, but no success

Of course it is but only if you have Linux or Mac (and not Windows).

Allright. But our develop server is Linux. We only run Windows as operating system, which runs Netbeans.

So our project, phpunit and interpreter are installed on an Ubuntu linux server. 

So if I understand correctly it is not possible to run phpunit or code coverage in Netbeans using Windows?

Totally irrelevant.

And NetBeans runs only local (locally installed) programs in this case.

Again, irrelevant.

Not true, why do you think so? You only need to install these programs (PHP, PHPUnit) on your local PC and it will work without any problems. All the documentation can be found here [1].

Thanks.

I have one final question:
The php on the linux server is installed and updated by our server admin. If I install php on Windows, and the php on the server is updated, does that mean I have to update the php on Windows?

No. NetBeans does not use any PHP (or any other program) which is installed on your/any server.

The 'bug' is already mentioned:
https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197552, https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195817 and is not supported.

Thanks for catching it.
