I have Mac OS 10.11.6 (15G31), Version Apache/2.4.18
in terminal
php -v
shows that
PHP 5.5.38 (cli) (built: Jul 22 2016 17:18:01)
phpinfo()
shows
PHP Version 5.5.36
two different versions, how it could be and how to delete one version?
type which php in your command line to see where your php files (of each version) are located.
If it shows exactly one php directory that's because the other one is not set in your PATH environment variable. It could be found by searching inside httpd.conf

I install php via brew. With brew install PHP. My version of php-cli is 7.2
But, if I use phpinfo() on my server, I get php version 7.1.
If I use php -v in my terminal, I get php version 7.2.
Disclaimer: I'm adding this hopefully extensive answer as part of the Revival badge. (Answer more than 30 days after a question was asked as first answer scoring 2 or more)
TL;DR
php -v settings can be different from phpinfo() inside your web-server due to the running service state of fpm and your webserver. Perhaps you need to restart php-fpm and/or your web-server (apache, nginx, ..).
Long version: Command line
Command-line based calls like php -v or php -i or php test.php will read your configuration, options and arguments every time you execute your script within a terminal.
This means if you update php in your operating system then you'll get the most recent version in your terminal session.
Attention: Depending on your PATH variables you still might get an older version.
What does this mean? Even if you update your php version on your operating system you might still have an older terminal session which links to an older php-binary.
Here is an example: I am an OSX user and installed php through brew. Currently php links to php#7.3. Here is my way to validate which versions are running where. For this I'm using which php.
$ which php
/usr/local/opt/php#7.3/bin/php
$ php -v
PHP 7.3.11 (cli) (built: Oct 24 2019 11:29:42) ( NTS )
// or the equivalent "absolute path" example
$ /usr/local/opt/php#7.3/bin/php -v
PHP 7.3.11 (cli) (built: Oct 24 2019 11:29:42) ( NTS )
I have multiple php-versions installed on my local system. I can run them all individually. Here is an example:
$ /usr/local/opt/php#7.2/bin/php -v
PHP 7.2.20 (cli) (built: Jul 5 2019 12:56:54) ( NTS )
Long version: Why is my phpinfo() using the wrong php version?
Since we now have an understanding that we can run multiple and different versions of php on a single operating system, lets dig into our web-server based script which runs phpinfo().
After installing a new php-version you'll have your binaries replaced by new versions. Awesome! but.. how does my running web server get notified about it?
For this I'll refer to the php documentation Apache 2.x on Unix systems Point 7. Also apache allows us to load different modules for PHP.
Edit your httpd.conf to load the PHP module. [...]
For PHP 7:
LoadModule php7_module modules/libphp7.so
For PHP 5:
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
Since you are upgrading from PHP 7.1 to PHP 7.2 there is probably no change but your webserver is still running the old linked version of php.
In this case a restart of your apache webserver should help so it can pickup the new binaries correctly.
Please let me know if this will help you to solve your issue. For all the other readers: If you think there is something missing OR there is something wrong in my explanation then please let me know with a comment.
Recently I updated the default PHP version on MacOS X 10.11 to the newer 7.1.4, but when I do php -v on the terminal it says this: PHP 5.5.38 (cli) (built: Aug 21 2016 21:48:49).
I created the phpinfo on the web root and it says that the version is actually the 7.1.4.
What should I do to resolve this issue? Is this a real issue?
Since you said:
I used the command curl -s php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 7.1
I took a look at https://php-osx.liip.ch, which says:
Why does php -v on the command line still show my old version?
php-osx doesn't overwrite the php binaries installed by Apple, but
installs everything in /usr/local/php5. The new php binary is
therefore in /usr/local/php5/bin/php.
You can also adjust your PATH do include that directory, eg. write
into your ~/.profile file the following
export PATH=/usr/local/php5/bin:$PATH
I've updated PHP from 5.5.34 which was installed on my Mac to PHP 5.6.25 using this guide: https://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/upgrade-php-on-osx
When I upload a phpinfo() script it's showing that I'm using PHP Version 5.6.25 which is what I'm expecting.
However, in Terminal it's seeing the old version of PHP:
$ php -v
PHP 5.5.34 (cli) (built: Apr 22 2016 19:16:58)
How can I get the Terminal to use the updated version of PHP?
As usual nobody answered, but I figured it out so posting the solution...
If you follow that guide you will need to do the following:
sudo apachectl restart
That should get the correct PHP version (7.x if you follow the link right the way through to the end) working in your browser. But your Terminal will still display 5.x
In your home directory create a .bash_profile file:
cd ~
nano .bash_profile
and put this in it:
export PATH=/usr/local/php5/bin:$PATH
Save the file and exit.
Load the .bash_profile:
source .bash_profile
Now when you do php -v you should see it reporting 7.x. So it's using that in your Terminal and browser; all good.
The installer works in a strange way whereby even though you're using PHP 7.x it will put it in a directory called 'php5' (/usr/local/php5) but this is a symbolic link to a different directory.
I installed the apm on my Linux (Centos7) and i think i installed the php again with yum.
I have two php.ini file in the paths below.
/usr/loacal/php/bin/php.ini (v5.3)
/etc/php.ini (v5.4)
php -v
PHP 5.4.16 (cli) (built: Jun 23 2015 21:17:27)
/usr/local/php/bin/php -v
PHP 5.3.27 (cli) (built: Mar 3 2016 11:17:12)
I have two versions of php on one server right now.
rpm -qa | grep php
php-pdo-5.4.16-36.el7_1.x86_64
php-tcpdf-6.2.11-1.el7.noarch
php-tidy-5.4.16-3.el7.x86_64
php-xml-5.4.16-36.el7_1.x86_64
php-mbstring-5.4.16-36.el7_1.x86_64
php-cli-5.4.16-36.el7_1.x86_64
php-php-gettext-1.0.11-12.el7.noarch
php-bcmath-5.4.16-36.el7_1.x86_64
php-gd-5.4.16-36.el7_1.x86_64
php-process-5.4.16-36.el7_1.x86_64
php-common-5.4.16-36.el7_1.x86_64
php-mysql-5.4.16-36.el7_1.x86_64
php-tcpdf-dejavu-sans-fonts-6.2.11-1.el7.noarch
I think this all files are installed with php(v5.4)
I can I remove these?
Can i just use the yum command again like below?
yum remove php
I'm so afraid that something happens when i do that.
Please let me know how to deal with this situation... Thanks
You might not need to remove anything. You can have as many versions of PHP installed as you like. The PATHS etc determine what actually gets used. To see what php binary is being used on command line use
which php
To see what php.ini file is being used by that binary use
php -i |grep "php.ini"
If you have the correct one then you're probably fine. To see what files will be remove by removing packages you can query the package to get the file list ie
rpm -ql php-common-5.4.16-36.el7_1.x86_64
The common package should contain the php.ini file that gets installed. From these commands you should be able to work out if you want to remove anything.
Note, if you can, use the more modern versions of PHP that you have installed. PHP 5.3 and 5.4 are both considered old versions now and are no longer supported.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP#Release_history
My phpinfo.php on apache shows
PHP Version 5.4.15
but commandline
php - v
shows
PHP 5.4.17 (cli) (built: Aug 25 2013 02:03:38)
I think apache and commandline reaches the different php,however
which php
shows only
/usr/bin/php
it is 5.4.17
I would like to know where php apache uses, and how can I check which php apache uses?
I think this depend on if you run php files using mod_php5 or cgi. The difference is explained in the accepted answer in this question: What is mod_php?
As I understand it, basically mod_php5 is pre-compiled from a specific PHP version that Apache will than use. While if CGI is used to run PHP the installed PHP command line version will be used when spawning a new process each time a PHP file is executed.
Hope this helps.
