I tried to make the xampp php version as a default php instance. At the moment the build in php version is default. In the nano .bash_profile I write the statement
export PATH=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin:$PATH
and this is no stored in the bash_profil. But when I check the php version via php -v I get the older one. Any idea?
exec "$SHELL" to load your recently changed .bash_profile. That should do it.

I've downloaded XAMPP ver. 7.2.10 which supposedly has the PHP ver. 7.2.10.
But when I run a composer update on cmd, it says that my PHP version is 7.0.21. I need to have a PHP 7.1.3 in order to run my frameworks.
Is there a way to change the PHP version without installing a new XAMPP? Because I already have the latest version installed and the PHP versions stated in the XAMPP and CMD are different.
Change you Xampserver you can't change php version inside xampserver
you can download from below link
Download xampserver
You can also do it in another way.
Download your desired version of php here and then go to XAMPP folder (most likely C:\xampp).
There, extract the downloaded php file and name it php (paste it in C:\xampp) Then, copy all files from your old php folder and paste it in the new php folder.
Do not replace any files, just copy missing files and if your php version is less than 7, don't forget to edit your httpd-xampp.conf file.
Restart your Apache server and, hopefully, it will work.
Maybe you are using another version of php, check if you have another version installed and see environment variables and path there should tell you the php path used, or maybe you have an apache running, to stop it enter services and stop apache24.
Your Bash/Terminal runs in it's own PHP world.
You can upgrade it with apt-get on XAMPP VM

After upgrading PHP to 7.2 composer will work. For some reason composer uses the bash PHP-version and not the Apache2-PHP-Version
When I run php -v in cli I get the exact php version 7, but when i run exec("php -v") in web server I get php 5.5 even thought in phpinfo i see that I am runing php 7?! Any idea why I get the older version of PHP?
running exec you get the CLI version of PHP
you probably installed php5.5 as CLI and php7 as apache module
If you use CentOs, add this line at the end of /etc/bashrc (or ~/.profile for Ubuntu)
export PATH=$PATH:/your/path/to/php7/bin
Then run:
source /etc/bashrc
P/s It may be better if you edit /etc/profile.d. Take a look both of them.
UPDATE
In MacOS, let edit ~/.bash_profile (create it if it does not exist) with the same content.
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
Based on this answer I've updated my local PHP to 7.0. This worked as expected when I browser to a file with phpinfo()
When I use the terminal command php -v I get version 5.5.26
As stated in the FAQ I have to add
export PATH=/usr/local/php5/bin:$PATH
to the ~/.profile (which I had to create)
but the result is the same: php -v still shows the 5.5 version
i've updated my MACOSX 10.6 and since then, i've not been able to use the PHP console version from MAMP.
php -v returns me 5.3.3 which is the PHP i've compiled and i want to use the one from MAMP
I've already done :
export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin
and creating a .bash_profile and a .profile fileand i put in it : /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin
without any results
echo $PATH returns :
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/X11/bin
Did you reload the profile after altering .bash_profile?
source ~/.bash_profile
(or .profile if you use that one)
