ffmpeg: not found when running ffmpeg via php xampp (mac)

I am trying to execute ffmpeg from php. I have installed ffmpeg locally on my mac via homebrew and I am able to run the commands I need via terminal.

When I try to execute the following code:

<?php
    echo "Starting ffmpeg";
    $output = shell_exec("ffmpeg -i test.mp3 -codec:a libmp3lame -b:a 128k out.mp3 2>&1");
    echo "<pre>$output</pre>";
?>

I am receiving the following on my browser:

Starting ffmpeg

sh: 1: ffmpeg: not found

I am assuming that I somehow need to install ffmpeg to my xampp server but it is not obvious how to do that. After searching online I can find linux and Windows tutorials but I couldn't figure out something out by looking at them.

What I tried doing was to download the ffmpeg static build form https://ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-mac and placed it in the htdocs holder, and then tried to execute ffmpeg as if it was an executable (after changing chmod), but that gave me

sh: 1: ./ffmpeg: Exec format error

How would one go and install and then run ffmpeg on their xampp server?

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE".
