The problem is that you have two php executable: one located in /usr/bin and another in /opt/lampp/bin.

When you type php in your terminal, bash search it in $PATH directory list, and it found php in /usr/bin, so /usr/bin/php is executed.

If you want to exec /opt/lampp/bin/php, open you .bashrc and at the end add this line:

      PATH=/opt/lampp/bin:$PATH

Once saved .bashrc, exec:

      source .bashrc

or close/open your terminal and try re-do your php command.
