How did you install it?
karmic lance
dpkg -L php
What does running that output?
ocean nexus
`dpkg -L php`
What does running that output?
dpkg-query: package 'php' is not installed
Use dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list archive files contents.

Ok install php without the -y flag

Have you run apt-get update like it suggests?
ocean nexus
Have you run `apt-get update` like it suggests?
I have, but i'll do it again
karmic lance
How about fix missing?
ocean nexus
How about fix missing?
what's the command for that? i think i did
karmic lance
sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
ocean nexus
`sudo apt-get update --fix-missing`
I'll run that right now, and then i should try the "sudo apt install php"?

Yeah I guess. You're using Kali soooooo...
ocean nexus
Yeah I guess. You're using Kali soooooo...
its giving me the same errors after I updated and did the install command....

To me it looks like the apt repo that you're using is broken for whatever reason. I don't use Kali so I don't know what you can do about that.

Kintec might be able to help when he has time. Currently 4am for him though.

I suggest not using Kali unless you actually have use for the tools in it, it's a terrible distro to run as a daily driver for most purposes, you'd be better off with a more friendly distro for daily use
Also it defaults to root permissions for everything
But installs are user based
It does a lot of stuff in a very weird way, would suggest something like Pop! OS or Ubuntu for daily use

If you are unfamiliar with Linux generally, if you do not have at least a basic level of competence in administering a system, if you are looking for a Linux distribution to use as a learning tool to get to know your way around Linux, or if you want a distro that you can use as a general purpose desktop installation, Kali Linux is probably not what you are looking for.

(apt installs are weird on Kali, that much I can say)
