How use different versions of PHP in command line - php

I'm facing an issue. I've multiple projects thats using different version of PHP. I world like to have a way to define for example:
sites/project1 -> php 5.6
sites/project2 -> php 7.0
sites/project3 ->
php 7.1
I'm currently using MAMP PRO to manage web-server but my issue is regarding to command line.
I don't want to use docker or vagrant for each project just configure a specific binary php per project folder.
Is there a way to do that?
Best!

You can use phpbrew, it's very simple and convenient when you want to switch between PHP versions as well as for PHP extension management.
For changing the PHP CLI version you just run one command:
$ phpbrew list
* php-7.1.12
php-5.5.15
$ php -v
PHP 7.1.12 (cli) (built: Jan 14 2018 22:25:40) ( NTS )

Zend Engine v3.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2017 Zend Technologies
with Zend OPcache v7.1.12, Copyright (c) 1999-2017, by Zend Technologies
$ phpbrew use php-5.5.15
$ php -v

If you use MAMP your php bin files are located under:
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php*.*.*/bin/php
I can recommend to create alias/symbolic link for each PHP version
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.1.12/bin/php => php7.1
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.6/bin/php => php5.6
etc..

Change CLI PHP version on Mac

I using Mac BigSur lastest update.
I have install Bitnami MAPP with PHP version 8.0.8.
But in CLI still PHP 7.3.24
I try create PATH to Bitnami PHP8.0.8 but have warning like below
WARNING: PHP is not recommended
PHP is included in macOS for compatibility with legacy software.
Future versions of macOS will not include PHP.

How to switch PHP CLI to PHP8.0.8 of Bitnami?
Bitnami engineer here!
The output you are seeing is produced by the PHP binary that comes preinstalled in macOS. When you install Bitnami MAMP, a standalone, updated version of PHP will also be installed in your system. In order to use it instead of the default one, you have two options:
Use the full path to the binary (installdir/php/bin/php)
$ /Applications/mampstack-8.0.9-0/php/bin/php --version
PHP 8.0.9 (cli) (built: Jul 30 2021 07:59:45) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.0.9, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
with Zend OPcache v8.0.9, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies
Add the directory containing the PHP binary to your path
$ export PATH=/Applications/mampstack-8.0.9-0/php/bin:$PATH
$php --version

For the examples above, /Applications/mampstack-8.0.9-0 was the installation directory (installdir) of the stack.

composer always detect wrong version of my local php

Whenever I try to test PHPUnit or composer update, I get this error:
PHP Fatal error: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 7.4.0". You are running 7.3.19
but when I put on the terminal: source ~/.bash_profile it reads that I have 7.4 on my local machine and all works OK. Is there any solution for that issue, to not need to put every time that command source ~/.bash_profile before every start of the console?
Before run source ~/.bash_profile:
PHP 7.3.19 (cli) (built: Jun 12 2020 00:29:59) ( NTS )

with Zend OPcache v7.3.19, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies
After run source ~/.bash_profile:
PHP 7.4.13 (cli) (built: Nov 30 2020 14:57:43) ( NTS )

I was facing the same issue, I was using command prompt for laravel artisan commands. Which was showing wrong php version. I closed it and from Xampp Control Pannel Open the Shell for artisan commands and now its detecting the correct PHP Version. It fixed my problem.

php versions are shown differently in WHM and server

In server, it shows 7.0 php like below from either cPanel
or cat /etc/apache2/conf.d/php.version in server
However in php --version, it shows php5.6.
How can I upgrade my php to 7.0? Thanks.
If you change PHP version from cpanel account it will be applied and your website will use the new version.
php -v command shows the default version of PHP for your system but if you want to check PHP version for your cpanel account only you have to modify your ~/.bashrc file:
alias php="/opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/usr/bin/php"
and then:
source ~/.bashrc
Now you'll find the output some thing like:
php -v

Set default version of Php in CentOS 7

I have two versions of PHP in opt/remi folder php56 and php72
but when I php -v on cmd it shows:

How to set default version to PHP 7.2?
I have two versions of PHP in opt/remi folder php56 and php72
how to set default version to PHP 7.2
SCL are designed for parallel installation so don't alter default version in base system
Once the collection is enabled, the version will be used
$ scl enable php72 bash
$ php -v
PHP 7.2.8 (cli) (built: Jul 17 2018 05:35:43) ( NTS )
If you want 7.2 to be the default version (base system) you should install it, according to Wizard instructions for "Default / single version" (and keep 5.6 as secondary version)
Change php cli version in Centos 7
First, find your php7, run phpinfo() and get path or you can do with other ways. for me, it is:
/usr/local/lsws/lsphp73/
then:
cd ~
. ~/.bash_profile
And:
alias php='/usr/local/lsws/lsphp73/bin/php'
Now:
php -v
PHP 7.3.13 (cli) (built: Dec 20 2019 16:02:35) ( NTS )
Create a file "/etc/profile.d/php.sh". Use pathmunge to add the path to your php bin you want as default on line one and save the file.
Example:
pathmunge /opt/remi/php73/root/bin
Reload your profile afterwards by logging in again.
Now if you do a which php and php -v you should see the following output in my case
[root#host etc]# which php
/opt/remi/php73/root/bin/php
[root#host etc]# php -v

This is the preferred way to accomplish this task using tools that are already supplied on a minimal install. This also allows scripts and commands to hit the correct php binaries when accomplishing other tasks. Commands like, pear, pecl, phar, php-config. You want your experience to be global when setting the default, otherwise you might wind up still getting version 5.6's tools when trying to install an extension or complete another task.
module enable php74
for your understanding:
cat /opt/remi/php74/enable
export PATH=/opt/remi/php74/root/usr/bin:/opt/remi/php74/root/usr/sbin${PATH:+:${PATH}}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/remi/php74/root/usr/lib64${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}
export MANPATH=/opt/remi/php74/root/usr/share/man:${MANPATH}

How to update PHP CLI OSX?

I just updated to php 5.4 using http://php-osx.liip.ch/ on osx lion.
when i type:
php -v
i still see:
PHP 5.3.15 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Jul 31 2012 14:49:18)
Copyright (c) 1997-2012 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2012 Zend Technologies
But phpinfo() shows 5.4.
How do i update this?
Just Export installed PHP path ,type this on Terminal
export PATH=/usr/local/php5/bin:$PATH
I checked that /usr/local/php5/bin/php existed. It did, so I added /usr/local/php5/bin to my PATH.
Thank you #AD7six
The answer shared by both Chutipong Roobklom and user1168427 helped, if you want to update to the latest php cli which is 7.2.7 (most current and stable release as of 2018 when this post was created originally so check the latest php version, methods for switching versions may vary) then just use this instead of the php5 command. export PATH=/usr/local/php7/bin:$PATH then type php -v and you should have something that reads like this(on MACOSX by the way):
PHP 7.2.7 (cli) (built: Jun 22 2018 06:27:50) ( NTS )

so you shouldn't be getting any errors. Hope this helps and for Kamel, that is how it is installed. You're kind of 'exposing' it in a way for your machine to now recognize which php version you are using.
