PHP version problems after homebrew install

MacOS 12.1 After successfully installing php 8.1 with homebrew (along with apache/mySQL and phpmyadmin) I am trying unsuccessfully to install/link php 7.4. After following instructions to install, unlink, link, php -v returns 7.4 but phpinfo() shows 8.1. What am I doing wrong?
Strange enough, using a full name such as "shivammathur/php/php#8.1" for the link command is what worked for me.
Eg:
brew link --overwrite --force shivammathur/php/php#7.4
Also, don't forget to close your terminal completely and reopen it before checking the version with php -v.
It looks as if I never successfully killed the included MacOS Apache. I uninstalled home-brew and the server was still running (with PHP8.1!). Not sure what went wrong.

Command not found after installing php

I have php5 installed on my macbook then I tried to update it, to php7 after I successfully installed the php7, I tried to check the installed version using php -v. But to my surprise it shows I still have php5 running on my system. After that I tried to move my php7 to my php5 directory /bin/usr/ but failed. Then I tried to run php-v but the response I got was -bash: command not found. Please how can I solve this both on my terminal and VSCode?

php --version Alias setting goes wrong on Mac

I am developing a PHP project. I am using Mac OS X now. To be honest, this is the first time developing a PHP project using Mac. I am a Windows. I installed PHP using Brew by running the following command.
brew install php
It gave me the php latest version, 7+. For my project, I need to use php version 5.6. So, I installed another PHP by running this command.
brew install php56
Up until this point when I enter "php --version" in the terminal, it is showing that I am using php version 7+. I found some solution to change php version and so I used one of them and run this command.
alias php='/usr/local/etc/php/5.6/php'
After running that command, when I type in "php --version" in the terminal, it is showing this error.
-bash: /usr/local/etc/php/5.6/php: No such file or directory
Now, I cannot use any PHP on my Mac right now. How can I fix that?

PHP 7.0 installed, but version doesn't change

I'm trying to install PHP 7.0, which works. But when I check my php -v in the cmd, it still says 5.5.36.
I tried it via php-liip, homebrew, install manually and via cmd. Nothing works. When I change version of PHP in MAMP (which I work with to try and install composer in a directory, that I need PHP 5.6 or higher for) i still doesn't matter.
The PHP 5.5 you're seeing was installed by Apple and is a default on your computer. It was installed at /usr/bin/php.
All of the installers you've used will not overwrite Apple's default installation - they will instead opt to create their own directories or use /usr/local/bin/ instead (thus the PHP interrupter would be installed at /usr/local/bin/php). In other words, you almost certainly have multiple php's ready to use right now. The next thing you need to do is tell bash (the default terminal/cmd on a Mac) to use the newly installed PHP interrupter.
When you run $ php on your command line, bash checks for an executable file on each of paths stored in the PATH environment variable. Once it finds one, it decides that that executable is the one you're looking for and runs that program. As of now, it's finding Apple's PHP 5.5 before it finds your fresh install of PHP 7.0 - assuming it finds PHP 7.0 at all.
You can fix this by updating PATH to check wherever PHP 7 is installed first. Instructions to do so can be found on SuperUser.StackExchange:
How should I set the PATH variable on my Mac so the Homebrew-installed tools are found?
To change php version in Ubuntu, try to use this comand
sudo update-alternatives --config php
and then select version what you need

phpbrew switch does not change PHP version

If I run "phpbrew switch 5.6.3" followed by "php -v", i get 5.9.3 (PHP System Version) as current PHP Version.
If I run phpbrew "use 5.6.3", i also get 5.6.3 with php -v.
Is there any solution for this problem? PHP version 5.6.3 is installed and built with phpbrew and working after using the use command.
I am using Elementary OS Freya (Ubuntu 14.04) with the latest phpbrew version.
If you are getting a red error line "You should not see this, if you see this, it means you didn't load the ~/.phpbrew/bashrc script, please check if bashrc is sourced in your shell.", then you need to run source ~/.phpbrew/bashrc. It's also a good idea to run echo "source $HOME/.phpbrew/bashrc" >> ~/.bashrc, so that in the future this will be automatic.
