Running gcloud command in php not working

I am trying to run shell commands from PHP using

 <?PHP

 $output = shell_exec('gcloud --version'." 2>&1");
 echo "$output";

 ?>

The output which I get is

sh: 1: gcloud: not found

When I try to do

 shell_exec('ls -l')

It works as expected. I have related posts on StackOverflow to use Rest API instead on this. But I have created a big script with gcloud commands. I am running my shell scripts in Terminal in mac. Can anyone help me understand the issue. May be required to install sdk, tried that still got same issue.

You need to read up on Relative Path vs Absolute Path of a file/dir.

When you code shell_exec('gcloud --version'..., you are using relative path. One way to resolve your issue is to specify the absolute path to gcloud command which can be determined from bash command line by typing: which gcloud and you might get a result like /usr/lib/google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud

Then, change your PHP code to shell_exec('/usr/lib/google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud --version'...
