php -v answers with bash: php: command not found

RESOLVED

/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild # php -v
-bash: php: command not found


custombuild from today,. PHP 4 or PHP 5 (I tried compling each of them and both gave me same error message).

CentOS 5.3 fresh install of DA.
i386

I tried PHP5 cli, but I got the error message of:

/usr/local/directadmin # php -v
-bash: php: command not found

I did find it in: /usr/local/bin/php

So how do I link it properly so that I can call it?

/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild # /usr/local/bin/php -v

Resolved:

ln -s /usr/local/bin/php /bin/php

thanks proHSP in a previous post from a year ago.

Hopefully if anyone is looking for the php -v combination they will easily find them now that the Title of the post has the "php -v" in it.
