I have xubuntu installation and xampp installed on my pc, and everything works great, but lately i am experimenting a little bit with laravel framework and a lot of tutorials and people just use php command in terminal, but for me to work i have to load a full path like
/opt/lampp/bin/php
and the file in bin/php links to proper php version.
That works but i would like to speed up a proccess a bit and to use just php as everyone else use and it's much simpler than to use full path.
So my question is how to set a path so i can use just php in my terminal.
I have read a couple tutorials and there are suggests of setting a path in ~/.bashrc
Or to use export
But none of them works for me.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried symlinking the php binary from /usr/bin?
Assume your XAMPP installation is in default location
/opt/lampp
This is the command to achieve that (in your case):
