How to run a PHP script from the command line with MAMP?

Question

Please note that with version 2.0.5 of MAMP, the path has changed. It is now one of the following:

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/bin/
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/

Therefore the command to add MAMP’s php command should probably look like this:

export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.2.17/bin/:$PATH

or like this (depending on which version of PHP you want to use):

export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/:$PATH
