php version from function "phpinfo()" is inconsistent with the output from "which php" command

Question

Mac OSX preinstalled php version is 5.5.38, I have installed another version which is 7.0.14

I get php version from web page which is called phpinfo(), it shows 5.5.38

However, I open command window ,and I type the command below:

MacBook-AIR-Jerry:local sooglejay$ which php
/usr/local/bin/php
MacBook-AIR-Jerry:local sooglejay$ /usr/local/bin/php -v
PHP 7.0.14 (cli) (built: Dec  8 2016 23:34:17) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies

I know , the web page which is called phpinfo(), is powered by php5.5.38, which is the builded php version in my mac osx, and I also see apache http-conf, which reveals that apache loads libphp5.so

LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

question is : How can I let apache know that, hey man, php versioin is 7 not 5 ?

Try to comment out the line in httpd.conf LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so — Michael

Try this:

LoadModule php7_module libexec/apache2/libphp7.so

you should change libexec/apache2/libphp7.so to real path on your system.(might look like /usr/local/opt/php71/libexec/apache2/libphp7.so)

You probably have both versions installed. this is a good resource - even though it's on windows it tells you the configurations you need to change.

Look for Apache24\conf\httpd.conf and search for lines similar to these (you found 1!):

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

LoadModule php7_module "path/to/php7/php7apache2_4.dll"

PHPIniDir "c:/php7"

You will have these with php5, except maybe the first two which would be similar/same. Change the versions as needed.
