Mavericks PHP versions issue

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I just ran the command below to update PHP on my system (twice, forgot I ran it before).

curl -s http://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | s://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/bash">bash -s 5.5

Output

Detected OS X Mavericks 10.9 All ok.
Get packager.tgz
Unpack packager.tgz

However when I run php --version I get

PHP 5.4.17 (cli) (built: Aug 25 2013 02:03:38) 
Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies

which php tells me `/usr/bin/php`

How can I get my system to use 5.5 ?

try

/usr/local/php5/bin/php --version

If you want that php to become the default when you type php at the command line, run this:

echo "alias php='/usr/local/php5/bin/php'">>~/.bash_profile

then close your terminal and open a new one or run

. ~/.bash_profile
