Run the following command for PHP to return its version:

What just happened?

We used Terminal to ensure that we had PHP running correctly on our machine. Not only did we check to make sure that PHP was accessible, but we also asked for its version. Your version may differ slightly from mine, but it only matters that your version is PHP 5.3 or higher.

Note

If your version is lower than PHP 5.3 or you were unable to get PHP to respond, you can install or upgrade by looking at PHP's manual: http://php.net/manual/en/install.macosx.php.
