Updating php version on mac

Question

I want to update php version, currently I have 5.5.38 and I want 7.1

What I tried so far is using this command:

curl -s https://php-osx.liip.ch/insta         


        

Answer 1

In case you guys run all install commands above but when checking the PHP version, it is still linking to the old version. So you guys may want to update the PATH.

In my case, I open the .bash_profile which located in HOME directory by command:

nano ~/.bash_profile

Then, I add the path to the new version of PHP:

PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/php/7.4.4/bin:

Finally, run source ~/.bash_profile command to refresh the terminal window and checking the PHP version again.

Hope this helps.
