NodeJs exec-php module, php is not a command

I am trying to call a php file from my nodejs file. I have installed and required the exec-php module and it has been install fine. The error I am getting is:

{ Error: Command failed: php C:\Users\***\Desktop\nodejs\xxchat11\node_modules\exec-php\lib\php\cli.php -pC:\Users\***\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp-129647qzlx6s.gh55ewmi.tmp -rC:\Users\***\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp-12964

129647pid95t.8vpiizfr.tmp' }

My php file is:

<?php
$hashes = array('md2','md4','md5','sha1','sha224','sha256','sha384','sha512','ripemd128','ripemd160','ripemd256','ripemd320','whirlpool','tiger128,3','tiger160,3','tiger192,3','tiger128,4','tiger160,4','tiger192,4','snefru','snefru256','gost','gost-crypto','adler32','crc32','crc32b','fnv132','fnv1a32','fnv164','fnv1a64','joaat','haval128,3','haval160,3','haval192,3','haval224,3','haval256,3','haval128,4','haval160,4','haval192,4','haval224,4','haval256,4','haval128,5','haval160,5','haval192,5','haval224,5','haval256,5');
function hash($method. $plaintext){
  if(in_array($method, $hashes)){
    $hashed = hash($method, $plaintext);
    echo 'The '.$method.' hash, for the string `'.$plaintext.'` is: '.$hashed;
  } else {
    echo "Method not found! Please type !help to see the list of supported methods.";
  }
}
?>

In my nodejs file I call the php file by:

var execPhp = require('exec-php');

app.get('/hash.php/:method/:text', function(req,res){
  execPhp(__dirname+'/hash.php', function(error, php, output){
    console.log(error);
    //php.hash(req.params.method, req.params.text, function(err, result){
        //res.send(result);
    //});
  });
});

Also, within my index file I am running the app.get() by:

$.get('hash.php/'+method+'/'+plaintext, function(data) {
    $chat.append('Chatbot: <strong>'+data+'</strong><Br />');
});

Have I done anything wrong within this code that will affect the error? Also, If there is a more efficient way of doing this please let me know as I have spent a couple hours already trying to figure out how to get these files to work smoothly.

exec-php takes 3 parameters:

  1. String. Path to user php file.
  2. String. Path to machine php bin file.
  3. Function. Callback function after creating exec-php object.

You're missing the second parameter, the path to php, that's why you're getting that error.

execPhp(__dirname+'/hash.php', 'PATH_TO_PHP', function //...

To get php location:

Windows:

C:\>where php.exe

Linux

which php

Check this answer: How to determine path to php.exe on windows - search default paths?
