It seems like it should be easy to run a script after Bitrise clones your repo but I can’t seem to get it to work with PHP.

My file is located at /poster.php. It takes 2 command line arg. Tag and API KEY. The API\_KEY is stored in a secret.

So i’ve tried:

**Script-Runner**

```auto
$BITRISE_SOURCE_DIR/poster.php $BITRISE_GIT_TAG $API_KEY

```

With config set to:  
Execute with / runner binary: `php`

**Do anything with script step**

```auto
#!/usr/bin/php
# fail if any commands fails
set -e
# debug log
set -x

# write your script here
echo "Bitrise... Building..."

php $BITRISE_SOURCE_DIR/poster.php $BITRISE_GIT_TAG $API_KEY

```

**Errors:**

_php: command not found_ (Do anything with script step)

_file\_path: path not exist at: /bitrise/src/poster.php_ (Script-runner)

Not sure how to get this thing working, any help is appriciated

Switching to Xcode instead of Ubunto did the trick!

@bitce I’m actually getting stuck again. Any chance you could help out?

            php $BITRISE_SOURCE_DIR/poster.php $BITRISE_GIT_TAG $API_KEY $WEBSITE
        is_always_run: true
    - deploy-to-bitrise-io@1.3.12: {}

```

I understand that script-runner wont work because i’m trying to add command line argument to the file path but I don’t understand why the script@1.1.5 wont work.

It says it ended successfully but the script doesn’t seem to have run. Are the env variables not getting converted?

How would I properly run this code? Just to recap. I have a php script in my github repo. Im trying to call it using:

`php $BITRISE_SOURCE_DIR/poster.php $BITRISE_GIT_TAG $API_KEY $WEBSITE`

Hey @ehuda!

Can you send us the URL to the build please so we can see everything that’s going on in there?

If you are facing some kind of process to generate the entire knowledge regarding the process to setup the installation of the PHP can be better if you get the process from the help of the [Google Drive Support](https://googlesupport.co/google-drive-support/) to generate the entire process for the knowledge.
