Fix PHP path for Alfred on Monterey

[skotzko]

Because the /bin/bash node of the workflow directly calls php, the workflow breaks on Monterey with the following error:

/bin/bash: line 8: php: command not found

This is true even if the user has manually re-installed php via brew, per this guidance.

The fix I found in the Alfred forums was to add the PATH into the top of the script, like so:

Added at top of script (see screenshot):

export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:/usr/local/bin:${PATH}"

This fixed it, since Alfred's php upgrades don't reach into the script contents themselves.

Can you incorporate this into an updated version of workflow?

@skotzko Thanks this helped.

Super late reply, but this is no longer an issue with Alfred.

Alfred will automatically search for PHP install in the following directories.

/opt/homebrew/bin/php
/usr/local/bin/php

Alternatively, you can still define your path in the script.

export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:/usr/local/bin:${PATH}"

Had same issue and none of the solutions worked for me.
Thanks to ChatGPT I found the issue -
there was a mismatch between the path where my PHP is located.
So, I used echo $PATH in terminal to find out where all the good stuff are.
and then I've added this line to the "run script" block:
export PATH="added/the/path/from/terminal/here:$PATH"
Thank you @mikomagni - your workflow makes my life so much better <3

@greenronny, the new version allows you to overwrite the path without editing the code.
