Answer 1

If you installed PHP 5.6 using Homebrew, this works:

Open Terminal, run open -a TextEdit ~/.bash_profile, then paste this in the end of the file:

# Use Home-brewed PHP 5.6 instead of pre-installed version (5.3)
export PATH="$(brew --prefix homebrew/php/php56)/bin:$PATH"

Save the file and restart Terminal.
